Re-ordering citations in Zotero -no up and down arrows
Does anyone know how to re-order citations in Zotero? every time I need to delete all citations and manually add them again when I notice that I missed to include a reference or just add new text in the middle of my thesis and I need to add that new reference between 2 existing ones...this is really time-consuming..:S
I found one forum entry where this was asked saying there should be an up and down arrow on the right to re-order citations, but I can´t see any...I can´t see them either even if I change view between standard and stacked view..
Any help is much appreciated!

Can you take a screenshot that shows what you're looking at, upload it somewhere (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), and provide a link here?
I am not sure what you mean..Let´s say I have a study from Riaz et al and Savarese et al. I had Riaz as 1.citation and Savarese as 2. Now I relaized I want to have Savarese as first citation and Riaz as second and I want to re-order accordingly..
In a forum i saw that somebody had up and down arrows on the right so that you can just click on it and move the reference wherever you want to. That is what I need otherwise I always need to start over...
I hope this is clear now..Thanks for the help!
Since items in Zotero don't have an inherent order, when you generate a one-off bibliography in a numeric style, it will just sort by an internal order in the database. That might happen to match the Date Added column, but it's not guaranteed and isn't something you should rely on. (Among other things, it would be different on any synced computer.)
I've explained how to use Zotero with numeric styles above, and that's really all I can say on this.
