How to Reorder Experience on LinkedIn

Updated on:
June 9, 2026

Use this interactive demo to learn how to rearrange your work history on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

LinkedIn does not offer a direct drag-and-drop tool to reorder Experience entries; instead, you edit the job dates so LinkedIn automatically sorts your work history by the updated timeline. This five-step process lets you control which roles appear first on your profile without any third-party tools.


Steps

  1. Go to your profile page on LinkedIn.
  2. Scroll down to the Experience section and click the pencil icon to open the edit panel.
  3. Select your current role and click the pencil icon on the far right to edit that specific entry.
  4. Change and adjust the date of the job — LinkedIn will automatically reorder your Experience based on the updated timeline.
  5. Click the Save button to apply your changes and finalize the new order.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to reorder your LinkedIn Experience section gives you direct control over how recruiters and hiring managers perceive your career progression. Because LinkedIn sorts work history by date, strategically adjusting job dates lets professionals highlight their most relevant or recent roles at the top of their profile. This is a critical profile optimization tactic for job seekers, career changers, and anyone building a stronger personal brand on LinkedIn. A well-ordered Experience section increases profile visibility and improves the impression you make in the first seconds of a profile visit.
