Hi @Samuelfaure, thanks for reporting this!

Are you by any chance also able to reproduce this issue with previous stable version 2022.4.2 and/or with the latest beta?

[Samuelfaure]

@filfreire The issue has been happening for quite some time, I am certain it was present during 2022.4.2 (which is even why I upgraded to 2022.5)

I'll try with the latest beta immediately.

Edit: No dice, beta doesn't solve the issue.

[izzat-sq]

Having the same problem. I have version 2022.5.1-1

[filfreire]

@Samuelfaure @izzat-sq this will be fixed in our upcoming 2022.6.0 release.

Fix for it was introduced in https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/5168

[vetterj73]

This was not fixed with 2022.6.0. I still have the same issue

[izzat-sq]

I still have the issue despite being on 6.0

[Samuelfaure]

Can confirm, issue is still there in 2022.6.0, please reopen

[rafaelbdb]

Also confirm: Version 2023.2.0 has the same issue.

[Studio384]

Can this issue be reopened? This bug still exists in the current 2023.2.2.

As a workaround, create a new folder, inside that folder create two requests using the folder dropdown menu, drag and drop your main request in between the two requests you just created, then just delete the other two requests.

For me not even this trick works in 2023.5.5.

I've just updated Insomnia to 2023.5.5 and the moving of requests stopped working.

[michaelnguyen08]

I have the same issue with 2023.5.5 on windows 10

[vermgit]

2023.5.6 fixes this 😃 Thanks!

[ThierrydelCastillo]

Apparently you have to be without any sorting filter for this to work. The tip given means that when you create a query the sort filter is canceled. It looks more like expected behavior than a bug (technical limit of the UI??)

[Samuelfaure]

@ThierrydelCastillo The issue was fixed for me, plus I switched to Insomnium, so I can't reproduce, but I'm pretty certain I had no filters on

[JordanReiter]

I thought I had this problem in version 9.3.2. It turns out you have to click on the request, hold, then wait for the request to get highlighted with a purple bar. Then I am able to drag requests around.

Once that happens the first time, I am able to drag the requests around as soon as I click on them.

But initially the interface acts as if the requests are not draggable.

[telemaxxx]

Dragging requests gets disabled entirely when sort is set to alphabetical. I'd love to see a behaviour similar to vs code's explorer when in that mode, where it's still possible to drag requests to other folders. On that note, being able to cut/paste requests would be really nice. I don't want to have to collapse all my folders or move a request into an intermediate folder if I want to move it from a folder at the top to a folder on the bottom
