#Drag-and-Drop Sorting

#Introduction

Drag-and-drop sorting relies on a sort field to manually reorder records within a block.

:::info{title=Tip}

• When the same sort field is used for drag-and-drop sorting across multiple blocks, it may disrupt the existing order.
• When using drag-and-drop sorting in a table, the sort field cannot have grouping rules configured.
• Tree tables only support sorting nodes within the same level. :::

#Configuration

Add a "Sort" type field. Sort fields are no longer automatically generated when creating a collection; they must be created manually.

When enabling drag-and-drop sorting for a table, you need to select a sort field.

#Drag-and-Drop Sorting for Table Rows

#Sorting Rules Explanation

Assume the current order is:

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

When an element (e.g., 5) is moved forward to the position of 3, only the sort values of 3, 4, and 5 will change: 5 takes the position of 3, and 3 and 4 each move back one position.

[1,2,5,3,4,6,7,8,9]

If you then move 6 backward to the position of 8, 6 takes the position of 8, and 7 and 8 each move forward one position.

[1,2,5,3,4,7,8,6,9]
