it is hard to set the sequence of rules

[johnsonsuqs]

the plugin is very useful to me, so i had set tens of rules about tags and folders, but i find the newer rules always be set at the bottom and has lowest prority, the older rules in the top has high prority . so i had set position every time. I think if it is hard to drag it to some position,you could set to exchange their positions of two

A single configuration screen is commonly used for PCs, tablets, mobiles, etc. Obsidian api includes only basic functionality, so it is difficult to do anything too tricky. So it is designed to be expected to work at least on any device. It is also difficult to add anything to the settings screen because it is already too tight on my mobile. I can't think of a good solution.

This is a feature that I would love to see happen.

"Customizable Page Header and Title Bar Obsidian Plugin" allows you to change the order in the settings, so please consider it.

Thanks for letting me know.

@kazdonkai Hmm... looks like "Customizable Page Header and Title Bar Obsidian Plugin" has the same reordering feature

Hello,

this Plugin is really helpful, but especially for a lot of rules I would second @johnsonsuqs. I tried to add rules manually by editing the "data.json" file (using the patterns of the other rules), where the rules are normally stored, but that does not seem to work since the plugin doesn't seem to read it on initialization, instead writes a new, empty rules file instead. That's a little frustrating, since adding rules with the standard process becomes really tiresome, iif there are lots of them. So maybe, if there is no way around the standard config method in the obsidian api, there could be am import-tool for rules, or at least a way to add rules via the "data.json" file directly. It's just a text-file, isn't it? Maybe there is also a way to set this as a table? That might offer a way to easier reordering?

Nevertheless, thanks a lot for this plugin!

Just as a follow-up to my last comment: Maybe you could use the tools Obsidian and its plugins provide themselves:

• Database Folder and
• Dataview One could create a database for the auto move rules ...

Just sayin'

I landed here for the same reason. The plugin is really great, but a lot of rules are added, it become difficult to use. Priority number would be definitely interesting to sort. Or adding a "+" button between lines when hover with the cursor ? Just making suggestions. I don't know what are the constraints of developping a plugin.

Another way to simplify the creation and modification of rules could be, to move the setting completely to the right click (context) menu of folders, so you don't have to mess with a long list in the settings, rather just may read, control and delete from there.
