Reordering List Items in a collection

Hi

Thought I would share the method I use for allowing users to reorder items in a collection.

This method is very simple and just manipulates the data for the row you are moving. No need to swap values with other rows which I think gets messy.

Thoughts welcome!

Very interesting way to reordering items! Thanks for sharing that!

This is gold. Your method is MUCH simpler than what I’ve been doing. I’ll need to give this a try.

Here’s what I had been doing that involves data sets, CSV of RowIDs, javascript columns to create new CSVs, and set column actions to overwrite the list of CSVs… :sweat_smile:

I like it, Andrew! Well done!

Can’t tell you how thrilled I am this is of use! May re-record the video now I know for sure it can be useful!

Thanks for the feedback!

@Andrew_Davies thanks for this input, I had a similar project but one where I also wanted to have a hierarchical list.
I built on top of your solution and happy to share the result:

If you would have any questions or feedback let me know!

I’m delighted my sorting method has helped you and others!

What a clever way of adding hierarchical rows. Great work!
