Prioritize Sort Order by Dragging instead of Alphabetical

[compumatter]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I need a way to insure projects that have higher priority are at the top of my list. I am sure that is by nature a typical expected human interaction. At present there is no way to do this

Describe the solution you'd like Either provide a handle or simply clicking on the row item and allow it to be dragged up or down to its new sort position on the list.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have tried color coding those items that are priorities. However, if there are 25 items there are not enough colors to order them in a priority that one would prefer. It simply doesn't provide the same level of control or organization

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

As a workaround, I have been prefixing less important boards with Z-

But it would be so much better to drag and drop as @compumatter suggested

Hello Julius,

I see this issue is marked closed. I am once again coming back to Deck and hoping this issue was implemented. Projects are never truly prioritized based on their alphabetical structure but either by date or sense of priority.

I feel this is a large missing behavior and am commenting here in hopes you will see it and move to include it.

Sincerely,

Jay CompuMatter

Thank you Chris.

@juliushaertl is this one addressed in the vue migration?

[juliusknorr]

No, nothing happend there in that regard.

[putt1ck]

ok - if written now though it should (preferably) done in vue?

[juliusknorr]

When talking about this recently with @jancborchardt we both agreed that having a manual order is not really the preferred way for sorting. We should try to show the most relevant boards first (e.g. by favoriting them), sort by recent updates.

In addition I think we should make sure that it is possible to search though the board list similar how it is done in Talk.

I fully support the idea of compumatter This will allow you to organize your boards much better when you have a lot of them. This is my case.

I will contribute $100 to any bounty needed to implement this behavior

I am also in support. In addition, it would be useful to be able to put boards into expand/collapsible categories on the left hand rail.

Here is my reasoning:

• It seems users want less time visually searching or scrolling for the board they seek. I notice the majority of the rationale above cite "prioritizing" most important, or most-active boards. That is a screen real-estate problem, in part at least.
• Folders or categorization addresses both the space-conservation problem, and the fact that "priority" is not one-dimensional. For example, first one wants to see "Projects for Work" or "Personal"...and then the highest-priority project within that bucket.
