To put a list of databases together if you add each one separately you can control the order they come in . Use "Database" under Add/Reorder. If you use the Subject Databases group it will come up in alphabetical order indicating "Best Bets." 

Please review the rankings for the databases on the A-Z List "All Subjects" in your liaison areas and tell your administrator if you want them to be changed from "Best Bet," to a mention at the bottom of the list, or to be taken off all together.
