Data Modeling: Reordering fields

Model field drag-drop reordering

Question

Hello,

Your visual data modeling tool is really awesome - although I'm curious to understand what's going on when I try to reorder fields.

Like most developers I suppose, I'm really particular about having my fields organized in a logical order, so it's great that I can drag and drop them. But if I drag a field from the end of the list up higher, instead of pushing all the fields from the one I drop it on down like I'd expect, it swaps places with that field, sending the field I dropped it on to the bottom. This forces me to tediously do the same with each field from the new one I placed down to the bottom to get it all in the right order again.

I hope that made sense... it's not a great user experience, but it seems intentional, so just want to understand if I should think differently. I recognize this may fall under the category of nice-to-have while you're working on much more important aspects... but after going through this again, I thought I'd just ask-

Thanks, Ben

Hey @bwells78, thank you for taking the time in filing this feature request. I did observe the behavior in my Studio Data modelling page. Marking this as feature request.

I've been facing this same bug for several months any have found it nearly impossible to use the field re-ordering functionality within the Amplify Studio. The only way around this appears to re-order the field manually in a local environment and then push the changes back to Amplify. To avoid confusion and frustration, please disable the broken field re-ordering functionality in the Amplify UI if there is no plan to fix this in the near future.
