Manually sort list with drag&drop or up/down-arrows
Hello,
I am running into a problem that seemed so easy at first but drives me nuts now.
I need to manually sort a list during a live session either with drag&drop (preferred) or choosing an index and sorting with up/down-arrows (second choice).
Example: Moving the 4...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 >> starting point
1 2 3 5 4 67 8 >> move the 4 to the right 1 time
1 2 3 5 6 4 7 8 >> move the 4 to the right 1 time
1 2 3 5 6 7 4 8 >> move the 4 to the right 1 time
1 4 2 3 5 6 7 8 >> move the 4 to the left 5 tims
My Approach was using zl.swap and the incdec object, but my patch makes a mess. Everytime I switch directions, the old target makes another swap, making my patch useless.
Here is my patch:
Anyone did this before or has a hint?
Somehow I missed this forum thread until now:
For everyone interested: You can find drag and drop reordering of lists there. Amazing work!
while i am a fan of zl, this kind of job can be done best using coll´s insert, delete, merge, sort and swap messages, and combinations of them.
