Lists are one of the most flexible parts of every Grandstand app package. With Gold, Platinum, and Titanium, organizers can also manually arrange listings to control the order visitors see.
Lists can be used for food, shopping, exhibitors, attractions, sponsors, businesses, performers, departments, resources, and more. Earlier this spring, Grandstand added manual ordering for standard Lists in Gold packages and higher. That control now extends to subcategories for apps submitted after June 30, 2026.
More Control Inside Larger Lists
Many events use Lists with subcategories to keep content organized. A fair might separate food by type. A festival might group shopping, sponsors, and activities. A business district might organize listings by neighborhood, service, or category.
In those cases, alphabetical order is not always the best fit.
Sometimes certain items need to appear first. Sometimes the order should match a printed guide, booth layout, sponsor priority, or the way visitors naturally move through an event.
Manual Ordering Now Works in Subcategories
With this update, Grandstand can now apply manual List ordering inside subcategories, not just on standard non-subcategory Lists.
That gives organizers a more consistent way to control the visitor experience across larger, more detailed List sections.
- Feature important listings at the top of a subcategory
- Match app content to printed maps or booth layouts
- Organize food, shopping, sponsors, exhibitors, or businesses more intentionally
- Keep larger Lists easier to browse
- Use the same ordering approach across more List types
Included with Gold, Platinum, and Titanium
Manual ordering for standard Lists and subcategories is included with Gold, Platinum, and Titanium at no additional charge.
Organizers can prioritize featured listings, match printed guides, or arrange content in the order that works best for their visitors. Manual ordering within subcategories requires an app submitted after June 30, 2026.
A Practical Improvement for Everyday App Content
Manual subcategory ordering is a small update, but it solves a very practical problem.
It helps events make their Lists feel less automatic and more intentional, especially when the order of content matters just as much as the content itself.
