Reorder Subelements (Skills, Jobs, etc.)

[peterkos]

I'd like to be able to change the order of skills and jobs without copying & pasting manually. Maybe also an option to sort them in chronological/reverse chronological order?

[saadq]

Yes, this would definitely be pretty convenient. Changing the order of the sections as a whole is possible in the new version, but your suggestion would be a nice feature to have. I'll look into the best way to try to implement this.

@saadq Perhaps the best way to do this is to offer several functional resumes, placing the skills, projects, education, and publications before experience. Re-arranging the sections for a template is easier than writing all that code to allow people to drag & drop or otherwise reorder.

It's also a nice way to give alternatives people want while you write all that code (assuming you want to write the code).

[saadq]

@dtsmith2001 The issue with that is I would have to account for a lot of different combinations of sections.

But I think you seem to be discussing changing the orders of the main sections themselves – that feature is already implemented:

I think this issue was mainly about changing the order of subelements in a section like changing the order of two school fields in the Education section.

Ah, I understand now. Very nice. I’ll now switch to your site for a functional resume. Thanks.

Would love to see this feature

[nrgapple]

Was this ever merged?

[nrgapple]

this feature seems to be on the web site. can it be closed?

[peterkos]

@nrgapple I don't think the issue is solved yet, unless I am missing something. The website lets you reorder the sections (Education, Work, etc.) but this is about reordering specific elements within a section: like, reordering specific jobs.

+1 to this, to give a real use case:

I like to order my jobs from most recent to least recent. I recently switched jobs and wanted to add my new job to the top, so I opened my saved JSON file in Resumake and clicked "Add Job", but it appears at the bottom.

So if I want to get it to the top, I have to manually copy paste the sections in job A to job B, job B to job C, etc. so that the "job A" slot opens up for my new job to be in. This requires another tool to copy text between and is very tedious.

--

For others wanting an easier workaround to this issue, I recommend exporting to JSON and manually rearranging the sections in the "work" key. To add a new section, just add {"highlights": ["test"]}, where you want it and it will be a blank job when you open it in Resumake.

This feature will be a part of the v3 rewrite

[saadq]

This has been implemented in v3. Hope to release within the next few weeks!

[saadq]

Reopening this since life happened and I didn't end up launching v3.

But here's a demo of how it was working when I had originally implemented it. The final UX may be different, I will most likely be getting back to working on v3 in a few weeks.

I don't see it, and I've moved my mouse on many areas, looking for click-to-drag. Also, I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge with clear cache and I can't get Skills to Reorder. I can reorder the main sections (work or skills, example, it's great!)

1. Is this available in the Work section, to reorder the new job to the top?
2. how to get the skills section to work, as seen in the video above? Thanks for the post about using editing JSON, this is working. All good.

Any planned update on this (and v3)? Other than this, fantastic stuff!

[KarmaKami994]

How fare are we with implementing the re-ordering the subelements within the sections ?

ive read through the comments and saw it was tested but not released yet ?

[ducaale]

@KarmaKami994 It might take some time before v3 gets released with subelement re-ordering. In the meantime, you can export your resume as a JSON, do your edits and reimport it.
