Change order of starred files by dragging and dropping

Change order of starred files by dragging and dropping

Hello,

I have maybe a half dozen files/folders currently that I have starred for easy access on my Home page, and I am wondering if there is a way to control what order they are in besides un-starring them and then re-starring with the fact that the most recent will be at the top in mind?

That method is really cumbersome, but it bothers me seeing them in whatever random order I happened to star them, as well as the fact that anything over 5 is hidden by default so potentially the most important file is not even immediately visible when I sign in.

If there is not currently another way to do this that I am overlooking, I'd like to submit it as a suggestion for future options. The ability to drag and drop them into the order a person prefers would be awesome, but even being able to organize by type, ETC would be an improvement.

Thanks!

It seems daft that we can 'star' things in a folder but then we cannot filter or order starred items within the Dropbox interface?!

 

Furthermore, when I go to the 'starred' items on the web interface, there doesn't seem to be a way to display these as large thumbnails or to reorder them. Or even see their thumbnails!

 

Maybe I am missing something

 

Surely these features are needed to make this useful — look at Adobe Bridge for a great way to filter / highlight lots of files...
