EntityQueues
EntityQueues allow you to create manually ordered lists of content items. They are ideal for situations where automatic sorting (by date, title, etc.) is not sufficient and you need full editorial control over the order in which items appear.
What Are EntityQueues?
An EntityQueue is a named, ordered collection of content (or other entity) references. Each queue has a defined set of content items arranged in a specific order. Queues are typically displayed on the site using views or blocks that pull from the queue.
Common use cases include:
Featured content: A curated list of articles or pages highlighted on the homepage.
Staff directory: An ordered list of team members.
Promoted resources: A hand-picked selection of resources or downloads.
Slider / Carousel content: An ordered set of items for a rotating banner.
Accessing EntityQueues
Navigate to Structure > EntityQueues in the admin navigation sidebar, or go to
/admin/structure/entityqueue.You will see a list of all available queues on your site.
Each queue shows its name, the type of entities it contains, and the number of items currently in the queue.
Managing a Queue
Viewing Queue Items
Click Edit items next to the queue you want to manage.
You will see the current list of items in the queue, displayed in their current order.
Reordering Items
In the queue editing interface, drag and drop items to rearrange their order.
Click Save to apply the new order.
Removing Items
In the queue editing interface, click the Remove button or link next to the item you want to remove from the queue.
Click Save to apply the change.
Removing an item from a queue does not delete the content itself. It only removes it from the queue.
Permissions
Access to manage EntityQueues is controlled by user permissions. Typically, Content Admins and Site Admins have the ability to manage queue items. Contact your site administrator if you need access to manage queues.
