Kanban component: enable use of Save Order elsewhere

Hi,
Currently, the Kanban component can save the order of items resulting from the drag&drop operations in a specific column. Unfortunately, its values cannot be used by the Sort By function of other List components (I got confirmation from Profile - ThinhDinh - Glide Community).
Therefore, I’d like to propose to extend the scope of the Save Order column (updated by the Canberra component) so that it can be used by any Sort By option belonging to other Collection components.
It would really nice and helpful to rearrange items using Drag&Drop and then have the sorted items visible in other lists.
Thanks

Agreed.

Bumping this back to the top of the forum.

We need one (or both) of the following:

  1. In Kanban, option to prevent users from reordering cards
  2. In every other collection, allow the Kanban sort order column to sort the collection in the same way with fidelity.

Ideal world → All collections can have the drag drop function to reorder.

Wait! Kind of a breakthrough.

Glide does attempt to place the kanban in an alphanumerical sort order. The problem is that the collection → sort ignores CASE. If we can find a way to convert the kanban sort order to something numeric, then we should be able to use the kanban sort order for other collections.

Here’s a start:

Almost cracked it! The only issue now is to account for kanban cards that were never ordered (and thus don’t have a sort order value):
