Drag and Drop Folder Reordering

Digest

Drag and Drop Folder Reordering allows users with Contributor-level write access rights and above to reorder Assets within Folders by dragging and dropping.

Concept

This feature is available only when the contents of a Folder are sorted by folder order (ascending or descending).  A custom cursor is placed over a row when it is able be reordered by dragging and dropping.  Up/down/top/bottom folder reordering icons will remain.

When an asset is re-ordered, it is placed directly adjacent to the ‘anchor’ asset (the asset before or after [depending on ascending or descending] the position where the asset is being moved).

Values in the ‘Order’ column of the folder contents view are updated dynamically for a user making a folder order change.  Changes in folder order will not appear for other users until the folder contents view is refreshed.

Technical

  3. Once the contents of the folder have been sorted, a custom cursor will appear over any field that doesn't have a link or some other clickable field.
