Re-order list items in custom order
Inlagt av ChimpanzeeSTAFFMOD den 3 januari 2020 vid 7:28 AM
I've got a list that I view in "Original" order (ie, the order that I added the films in). It's the order that I watched the films in but I've realised that I missed on when I was creating a list. How can I insert a film into a specific point in the list, or change the order of a list after films have been added? I was expecting to see some drag-and-drop handles or up/down arrows but I can't find them. Am I missing something?

Hi, Chimpanzee (that feels funny to say!).
If you open your list, then click on "Edit", look for where it says "Sorted By". You won't be able to relocate a particular title to just a completely random place on your list, but will have a number of other order options that may prove desirable. (I personally have each of my lists set to present in Release Date Ascending order, as I find it easiest to locate things - example here - presented chronologically, oldest at the top, newest at the bottom, and everything else in the right release order in between.)
The available order options are:

There is currently no custom list order, but you can follow/vote for this feature on Trello.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I was looking to move specific items to another position in the list instead of using the predefined sort orders. I've added my vote on Trello. 👍

I second this. We can make a list of watching certain franchise movies in chronological order by allowing sorting the titles in custom order.

Hi @tomyan112, in order for us to be able to complete WEB-46, we had to first migrate the lists to TMDB's current standard backend. We only completed this work late last year, which finally opens the door for us to work on custom orders and more list features in general. Lists were stuck on the old system until late 2023.
Having said that, while it's not currently on our roadmap, I'll see if I can prioritize it later this year.
