Feature request: Move to top/bottom buttons
We are maintaining very long lists of items using admin-sortable2. Unfortunately, new items are always added to the bottom. However, in our data domain, new items should appear on top most of the time.
This is a problem for our users because they need to add new items quite often and each time they have to move them via drag'n'drop through the whole list to the top.
Is there a way to place new items to the top directly or at least show a move to top/move to bottom button on each row?

You mean new items added using the object's detail view? You're talking about the normal admin views, not inline-admins?

So your users save the object and then in the list view, they have to move the just created object to the top. Interesting idea. Yes, I believe it is possible by adding a special input field to the object's detail view. This would then influence the behavior of how a new object is inserted into the list of objects.

In my case it's actually the inline admin. Sorry for not having been clear about this.

Yes, or at least, this is a workaround I came up with. Basically, new items need to go to the top. I'm not sure what the best approach for this would be.
If I add this feature, I think it also should handle plain objects, not only inlines. All in all, I don't think it's going to be too difficult to add.
