Reordering Items Across Pagination
Current Behavior on Pagination
When using pagination (25, 50, or 100 items per page), items can only be reordered within the currently visible page.
For example:
If you are displaying 100 items per page
Item #100 appears at the bottom of page 1
Item #101 appears at the top of page 2
Because drag-and-drop reordering only works within the visible page, you cannot drag item #101 to page 1. This makes it impossible to move an item across page boundaries using pagination alone.
Workaround: Use Search to Temporarily Reduce the List
You can work around this limitation by using the search feature to filter the list.
Use the search bar to filter items so that fewer than 100 results appear (for example, 90 items).
Once filtered, all matching items will appear on a single page.
Locate the item you want to move (e.g., item #101).
Drag it to the top of the list.
Clear the search.
After clearing the search, your previously item #101 is now item #1
Note: This workaround moves the item to the first page or the last page if you move the item to bottom of the filtered list.
