How to reorder an auction with ABC lots

In BidWrangler, you can create items with an alphanumeric Lot Id (e.g. 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d), hence why we call them “ABC lots." If you need help creating ABC lots, click here to navigate to an article about creating ABC lots in the admin portal.

In this article, we will outline the steps to take when reordering an auction that contains ABC lots.

Quick Example

Before we begin, let's take a look at the following example: Currently Lot 1a and 1b are in positions 4 and 5; however, we want those ABC lots to follow Lot 1.

Reordering the Auction with ABC lots
