How to change the order of views in Jenkins

I've created a new view (tab) in Jenkins. It was created in the out most right of the page and i'd like it to be moved to the left. I searched everywhere and could not find how to do it. Would appreciate your help.

Actually i found it pretty simple to just add empty spaces in front of the view name and because it orders it alphabetically, you can get the desired result with just a few clicks:

Unfortunately, you have to add this on job creation. Jenkins will not let you edit a name to include spaces as it views it as the same name. – Witchhunt 5/2, 2020 at 17:58

@PrestonM there is an option on the left pane to edit the view. And then you can rename the view. However the initial view when landing on the main jenkins page is still defaulted to "All" which bothers me. I would prefer to land on a view where only the enabled jobs are show :/ – Volleyball 6/2, 2020 at 17:34

@Volleyball - On the Manage Jenkins -> Configure System page you can change the default view to something other than "All" using the "Default view" setting – Saransarangi 3/11, 2021 at 13:10

You can also just add a number before each tab. Example: "1. First Tab", "2. Second Tab", "3. Third Tab"

But, for the 10th view, it is coming next to first view. Like, "1. First Tab", "10. Tenth Tab", "2. Second Tab". – Rafaelita 21/10, 2022 at 9:43

I tried the Dashboard View plugin but couldn't get it working out of the box and didn't want to spend any time on it really.

My solution - which gave me somewhat peace of mind - was to prefix the view names with roman numerals :)

But, for the 9th view, it is coming next to fourth view. Like, "iv. Fourth Tab", "ix. Ninth Tab", "v. Fifth Tab". – Rafaelita 21/10, 2022 at 10:4

Prefix the view name with a soft hyphen to make them appear at the end or with a space to make them appear infront

shy = String.fromCharCode(173);
chars = ['A','B','Z', shy + 'Z','a',' a','b','z',];
document.body.innerHTML = chars.toString() + '<br/>' + chars.sort().toString()

<html><head></head><body></body></html>

The soft hyphen works great! Thanks! – Manysided 4/8, 2023 at 19:26

Tabs are in alphabetical order and I don't think there is any way to change that. So your best option may be to rename your tab so that it starts with an 'A'.

An alternative may be to use this plugin : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Dashboard+View It allow customisation of the main page.
