The workflow statuses appear in sequence according to the order in which they were created. If you are editing an existing workflow, you will need to manually reposition any new statuses. To sort the statuses:

1. Open the workflow of interest
2. Locate the Status list section
3. Click Sort statuses. A Status ordering table will appear, displaying a row for each status
4. Select a status with your mouse and move it to the desired position using the drag & drop method
5. Click Save at the bottom of the page
