Drag and drop to rearrange items in Paper docs

Drag and drop to rearrange items in Paper docs

Liking the new experience for Dropbox Paper so far! I've got this little issue I want to address. When doing creative projects or writing down notes, there's a lot of rearranging of topics, headers, and photos. Some things are prioritised and then not. Some things make more sense before or after. It would be neat to have a drop and drop feature to rearrange various parts of the document instead of having to cut and paste every now and then. Thanks!

Drop and drag a must  - find it hard to believe it is not possible !!??

A feature that would be incredibly useful for me is the ability to re-order list/table/task items by simple drag-and-frop or a simple set of keyboard shortcuts.  When Paper is being pushed as an 'ideas' platform, surely it is one of the most basic requirements to be able to easily re-order concepts/steps/tasks etc.

 

That said, after years of development, to my knowledge even the mighty desktop version of Word or Excel can't do this simple thing, which is why I have to use an application called To Do List when I want this functionality.

I was just thinking that without drag and drop Paper is way too inconvenient for me to use. I tend to write random thoughts and then re-arranged them as needed. Microsoft OneNote allows to do such a thing, and I use it a lot.

I totally agree. That's why I came here...to see if there was a way to rearrange items.  Drag and Drop is the best- like Checklist . com (but paper can handle embedding code snippets.)

Hear Hear.   Rearranging / reordering items is must useful.

Absolutely.  Please add this wunderlist-like functionality!

If D/box Paper would allow sorting by date created / modified it would be a winner for me.  Until then, I'll be forced to stick with Google Docs or Simplenote.

I agree. It's an absolute must
