Use this interactive demo to learn how to change the order of your LinkedIn education entries.

Quick summary

LinkedIn automatically orders your Education section based on dates, but you can control the sequence by editing end dates or toggling Currently studying to move an entry to the top.

Steps

Go to your LinkedIn profile page.
Scroll down to the Education section and click the pencil (edit) icon.
Adjust the end date or mark Currently studying to automatically update the entry's position.
Click Save to apply your changes.

📌 Why this matters

LinkedIn automatically sorts education entries by date, which can bury your most relevant qualification. Knowing how to reorder your Education section lets you surface the degree or certification that matters most to recruiters and hiring managers. This is a high-impact, low-effort profile optimization that directly improves how your professional background is perceived. Getting the order right can increase profile views and improve your chances in LinkedIn search results.
