Change the creation date of a CMS collection item

At a glance

The community member is trying to reorder a CMS collection list that is being filtered by "Creation Date / Oldest to Newest". The suggested solutions include creating a new "Back date" field and populating it with previous dates, or exporting the items to CSV, making bulk edits, and importing them again. Another community member mentions a plugin with reorder drag and drop functionality. The original community member later states that the other developer they were working with was able to solve the issue.

the only way to achieve this would be to create a new field like "Back date" and populate it with previous dates. Don't know the exact context of your situation.

If you are changing many items, you could export to CSV and make bulk edits and import again.
