Why are all the news articles listed as automatic?

Question

I want to reorder the news but its difficult to do when all the articles have the same name "automatic", anyone know how to fix this?

Hi @Danielle Blasl

Any numbered positions that you do not drag stories into will remain at Automatic, meaning that the news web part will show stories in those positions in order of publish date.

If you want to reorder the stories after you've dragged them into position, select the item and use the keyboard CTRL+up arrow and CTRL+down arrow.

You could drag the news to the order you want like following
