Manually sorting of lists - 87 views

lists sorting help suggestion search

    I am trying to find how I can sort lists in the order that I want them. I can sort book marks by dragging and dropping them, but it wouldn't let me do that with my group of lists. Does anyone know if or how this cam be done?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Graham, That is the same for me. What I am trying to do is when I am looking at my lists, I want to move list items around...like grab a list and move up or down. Is there any way to do this? As it is now they are sorted by when I add them, but for the purpose I have in mind, I want some list to be listed higher than others because they are more important. Think of browser bookmarks...you can grab a bookmark or a folder and move it somewhere else. Make sense?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Scott, if there is no way to move things around easily, then I guess your workaround would be better than nothing. My idea was to try and think ahead of how I would want it listed, but I knew there was no way it would work because I know it would be changing constantly. Thanks for the tip, I think that shall work well enough

    Graham, The order of the lists of lists would be for everyone, including myself. I will be adding new list in the future and don't know what they will be or where I want them ranked. So far, Scott has offered the best solution which is to place numbers before them. It would be nice if I could grab and move lists around like I can with bookmark links.
