Laravel Nova - Reorder left navigation menu items

You can do it in

App\Providers\NovaServiceProvider.php

add a method resources() and register the resources manually like

 protected function resources()    {        Nova::resources([            User::class,            Post::class,        ]);    }

Alternate

There is another way mentioned in this gist, this seems good too, but official documentation has no mention of it yet.

Resource

<?phpnamespace App\Nova;class User extends Resource{    /**     * The model the resource corresponds to.     *     * @var string     */    public static $model = 'App\\User';    /**     * Custom priority level of the resource.     *     * @var int     */    public static $priority = 1;    // ...}

and in NovaServiceProvider

<?phpnamespace App\Providers;use Laravel\Nova\Nova;use Laravel\Nova\Cards\Help;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;use Laravel\Nova\NovaApplicationServiceProvider;class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider{   /**     * Register any application services.     *     * @return void     */    public function register()    {        Nova::sortResourcesBy(function ($resource) {            return $resource::$priority ?? 99999;        });    }}

This way you set priority of resource and based on priority you render the resource.

A cleaner way and tested on latest Nova 3.x. Also, this has been added to Nova since version 2.10+ All you need to do is add a static property on your nova classes. For example Clients will be:

/** * The side nav menu order. * * @var int */public static $priority = 2;

Then after that you can use the NovaServiceProvider to tell nova to use your custom ordering. You can place the code in the boot method

public function boot(){    Nova::sortResourcesBy(function ($resource) {        return $resource::$priority ?? 9999;    });}

**Reference Nova Private Repo

There are two ways to achieve this:

1. By setting priority to Resource
2. Ordering Resource models in NovaServiceProvider

1. Priority Method

• Add priority as in the following code in Resource model:

    public static $priority = 2;

• Then update NovaServiceProvider like this:

  public function boot(){    Nova::sortResourcesBy(function ($resource) {        return $resource::$priority ?? 9999;    });}

2. Ordering Resource models in NovaServiceProvider

In NovaServiceProvider, order Resource models like this:

protected function resources(){    Nova::resources([        User::class,        Post::class,    ]); }
