How to Rearrange Blocks on the Category Sidebar

Question

How can I rearrange the blocks on the sidebar? Where can I edit it? Currently the tag block is on the bottom most part of the sidebar. I want to move it up. How am I suppose to do it?

Answer 1

go to app/design/fronted/base(or your theme contain file)/default/layout/tag.xml on line 38

change

<block type="tag/popular"  name="tags_popular" template="tag/popular.phtml"/>

to

<block type="tag/popular" before="currency" name="tags_popular" template="tag/popular.phtml"/>

Answer 2

Use in this way to your local.xml

<reference name="left">
    <block type="core/template" before="-" name="name_of_the_block" template="template_path"/>
</reference>

To display as the First block:

before="-"

To display as the last block:

after="-"

To display before any other block:

 before="block_name"

To display after any other block:

after="block_name"
