Reorder

By default, YAMLResume arranges sections in a standard order. However, you can easily change this by providing a custom order list. This allows you to highlight your most important information first.

How to Use

For example, if you want to place your "Skills" and "Projects" sections before your "Work" experience, you can define the order like this:

---
content:
  # ...

layout:
  sections:
    order:
      - skills
      - projects
      - work

Any sections included in the order list will appear first, in the sequence you've specified. Sections not included in the list will be appended after, following their default order.

Examples

Prioritize Work Experience

layout:
  sections:
    order:
      - work
      - education

Result: work experience appears first, followed by education, then all other sections in default order.

Highlight Skills and Languages

layout:
  sections:
    order:
      - skills
      - languages
      - work

Result: skills and languages appear prominently at the top, followed by work experience, then remaining sections.

Academic Focus

layout:
  sections:
    order:
      - education
      - publications
      - awards
      - certificates

Result: academic sections appear first, followed by other sections in default order.

Default Section Order

When no custom order is specified, sections are rendered in this default order:

1. basics (by default rendered to the top of the resume as a summary section)
2. education
3. work
4. languages
5. skills
6. awards
7. certificates
8. publications
9. references
10. projects
11. interests
12. volunteer

Implementation Details

• Priority: Sections specified in order appear first in the specified sequence
• Fallback: Remaining sections follow in the default order
• Deduplication: Duplicate sections in the order array are deduplicated (first occurrence kept)
• Empty Sections: Sections with no content are automatically filtered out
• Flexibility: Users can specify any subset of orderable sections
