Suggestion : order field with drag drop

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently we have an integer field that is used as a pseudo order field. This allows us to export/report and sort on that order. The order of items is manually assigned.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Allow for an integer field with "order" functionality, i.e. allow for drag/drop and updates the corresponding order field
  • Allow this field to not touch the "updated by/ updated date " fields or trigger the "audit" flag.
  • The field and its value may be hidden, but should be exportable.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manual

Additional context

  • The kanban behaviour resembles a bit the behaviour.
  • like https://jqueryui.com/sortable/ is an example

This is merely a suggestion for improvement. We can keep doing it manually.
