# Database table / shortcode IDs

 * Hi there,
 * the list of quizzes in the WP backend has grown over time. Some quizzes are not
   listed in the sequential order because the list is sorted based on shortcode 
   id. I was wondering if there is an easy way to re-assign the sortcode id to other
   quizzes directly in the respective database table and with that make the quizzes
   appear in the correct order.
 * If so, please advise in the relevant table and let me know if there is anything
   to consider when doing so.+
 * Thanks,
    Jan

 * Hi Jan,
 * The shortcode ID is the auto-increment ID from the DB table so it will be hard
   to change it. If you change you have to change all the related data as well.

 * Thanks for getting back Prasunsen.
 * Sounds like I should rather move the content of related quizzes around in the
   WP backend and stay away from the database tables.
 * Best,
