Custom basemap gallery - customise the order

SarahNoakes1 — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:54:38 GMT

Currently in AGOL, if you create a custom basemap gallery you can only choose to order by:

Owner
Date modified
Title
View count

All ascending or descending.

However, none of these options work for my basemaps. Please could you add a custom order option so you can drag the available basemaps into a custom order? Something similar to the way you can reorder locators in the Geocoding utility service section.

Thanks,

This would be a huge improvement for sorting the basemaps. Our organization has several different years of imagery for basemaps so the sort is set to keep these in order which means there's not much to be done with other available basemaps.

It shows the basemaps in the order you choose in the AGOL map viewer, but not in any apps that you create which makes no sense. The Basemap widget in Experience Builder, etc. should have similar options for sorting when synching with the organization basemap gallery.

I'd like to add my endorsement to this idea. It seems like the default is to list them by name, alphabetically. Being able to drag them into a specific order (ideally) or, at the least, being able to apply the specified sorting method to Basemap widgets in Experience Builder apps would be very helpful.

I support this idea. Having the ability to reorder Basemaps will be very useful, specially if we want to keep the most recent ortho imagery Basemap on top.
