Table: Reorder rows manually

[bjhomer]

What problem does this address?

It's currently difficult to reorder rows in a table. For example, I was building a table that listed the development status of a bunch of API endpoints. At first, I just had them sorted by the URL, like this:

URL	Status
https://example.org/account	Done
https://example.org/create-order	In Progress
https://example.org/delete-account	Done
https://example.org/view-order	Waiting

Then I decided that I wanted to group them into sections, like this:

URL	Status
Account
https://example.org/account	Done
https://example.org/delete-account	Done
Orders
https://example.org/create-order	In Progress
https://example.org/view-order	Waiting

There's not an easy way to reorder existing rows in a table, though. I have to insert blank rows, then copy and paste the contents of each cell one by one. That's inefficient.

What is your proposed solution?

I'd love if, when a cell is focused, there were a control that let me reorder the rows. It could be a floating control to the left of the table with Up/Down arrows. Even better would be a drag handle that let me drag the row into the desired position.
