  7. Save changes when you are done editing the file and check the result on your website.

  8. To change the icons order, you will need to change the order of sections in code. For example, we can move the Facebook icon to the last position by placing the Facebook code section that starts with <li class="facebook"> and ends with </li> after the current last icon code – google+ in our example.

  9. Save changes when you are done editing the file and check the result on your website.

  11. Open the share tools page, select the needed options for your icon and click on the Get Code button:
