Instagram grid rearrange: plan the new order before you touch your feed

An Instagram grid rearrange planner lets you preview a new profile-grid order before you apply it on Instagram. Instagram now lets you drag your existing posts into a new order on your profile, but doing it live means guessing, and every drag reshuffles the whole grid. The safer way: plan the layout first in PlanMyGrid, then replicate it on Instagram once you're happy.

How to plan an Instagram grid rearrange

  1. Import your live feed. Connect Instagram and click Import posts, PlanMyGrid pulls your recent posts into the grid with their captions.
  2. Rearrange visually. Drag posts around a full 3-column preview until the feed looks right. See the whole grid at once, not one swap at a time.
  3. Get the target order. Click Apply on IG for a numbered layout of your posts, position 1 is top-left.
  4. Apply on Instagram. Open your profile → menu → Edit grid, and drag each post to match the numbers.

Why plan it first?

One post at a time, hard to see the whole feedFull-grid preview, drag freely
No undo, every move is liveExperiment safely, nothing goes live until you say so
Can't try multiple layoutsDuplicate the grid, compare options

For agencies, this is even bigger: plan a client's grid rearrange, share it for approval on your own domain with no client login, then apply it once they sign off. See the agency features.
