Changing order of your forums
This is an old question I've seen asked many times, all the way back to the ASP .NET Forums time. At that time you had to manually go into the SQL Database and change the values of the SortOrder field. I think at sometime there was an up and down arrow to move the forums within the Admin interface. But sometimes that didn't work good since one forum could have a Sort order value of 9999 and another could have 1. That would take a few clicks to get anything to happen. 
Today it's much easier, but a bit hard to find. If you go into the forums in the Control Panel you will see a list of your forums.

But you see no way to reorder the forums. What you have to do is to change to TreeView, which will give you a TreeView of the ForumGroups and Forums to the left, and a property window to the right. From there you can drag and drop different forums between ForumsGroups and/or between forums. For example you can drag a forum in a forum group and drop it on top of an existing forum, to make it a sub forum.
