Does this plugin allow moving items around in any order?

Hi @YousufSSyed

the quick answer is: yes, this plugin allows placing the items in any desired order.

At the same time if you ask about moving items in the sense of drag & drop feature, it is not supported. This plugin works off a textual specification of how the items should be ordered. There was a plugin obsidian-bartender which supported drag & drop functionality in File Explorer. I don't have information if it is up-to-date and still maintained

Back to this plugin: using the simple textual specification you can place the items in any desired order. Some examples:

• list (in the config) the items by name in the desired order (this is the simplest case, fully manual ordering)
• list only some of items, e.g. these which should be pinned to the top and/or to the bottom, and let the other (not listed) items be placed automatically below, above or between
• instead of listing full names you can list name prefixes, or suffixes. Or metadata key
• you can distinguish between files and folders or treat them equally
• you can sort by the starred / unstarred status and - for example - pin starred items to the top
• you can involve automatic sorting rules, by name, by numerical part of the name (prefix or suffix or infix), by dates, by metadata value
• other options supported
