Can I change the order of items in category views?

Of course it is ;-)

By default the order is disabled. To enable it simply click on the "Order" word. This will enable the move option as well as the save order function.

Don't forget that FLEXIcontent has multi-mapping and thus a same item can belong to multiple categories.

To order the items for a specific category simply activate the category filter. When category filter is enabled the ordering is set especially for this category.
