Reset Mailchimp Block Sort Order

Question

I created a newsletter template using one of the default Mailchimp templates, but I had a problem with the sort order of duplicate blocks. If I try to mix different repeating blocks, I cannot do this. Is there any way to fix this?

As an example, this is a very simplified version of my initial campaign design using this template:

Repeatable Block 1 Repeatable Block 2 

But if I were to create a new repeatable block for each of them, I cannot order it like this:

 Repeatable Block 1 Repeatable Block 2 Repeatable Block 1 Repeatable Block 2 

Answer 1

This is a known issue or limitation in the MailChimp editor. It is not possible to mix different repeatable sections of blocks.

The best option is to use variable content blocks to achieve the desired effect.

 <div mc:repeatable="block" mc:variant="Block 1"></div> <div mc:repeatable="block" mc:variant="Block 2"></div> 

This setting allows you to create as many blocks as possible and change the contents / layout of each block using the variant selector.

Answer 2

For me, it was just a caching problem (mailchimp displayed the old version - even after closing, rebooting, etc.).

Ive deleted the campaign and created a new one with the same template. from this moment everything works as expected in accordance with http://kb.mailchimp.com/templates/code/create-editable-content-areas-with-mailchimps-template-language#Repeating-Content-Area
