First let us see the structure of Classic Framework Page of Portal.

In the above picture you can find the Top-Level Navigation Iview.
It has Roles as First level and Worksets/Pages/Iviews as Second level of navigation.

In the above screen shot ESS/Service Desk/MSS/Content Admin/User admin/System Admin are Roles.
And Portal content Management / Portal content Translation / Portal display / Web resource repository/ KM content......... are the Worksets/ Page / Iviews of Role Content Admin.

Now in this post lets discuss about the Arrangement and Visibility of these Roles/Workset/Pages/Iviews in the Top Level Navigation/ Detailed Navigation.

Now lets us Create a Role in Portal.

now if you want to arrange the tabs in second level of top level navigation.
do as follow.

when you select any iview/workset/page  the option move up and move down will get enabled.
you can in this way arrange these by moving up/down.
and you can check them in the portal after refresh. (no need to log off and login)

let me change some and see in the portal.

This is one way you can change the second level arrangement.
Other way is you can set sort priority property.
Sort priority can be changed by by going in to the properties of Iview/page/workset.
Sort priority was marked in the above (3rd from here) screen shot.

Now coming to First level of Top Level Navigation. 

you use the same Sort priority property to change the arrangement of  First level of Tope Level Navigation.


Coming to visibility.

you can observe the property visibility in the above screen shots.
just by checking/ un checking you enable /disable the visibility of the object.
