Order articles in category by dragging and dropping #5752

Open amandastevens opened 4 years ago

amandastevens commented 4 years ago

Currently when you use the Categories feature in OJS and OMP, you can order the books/articles in the category by date published or title (and OMP has an additional option to order by Series Position).

One Editor user (a PKP hosted client) published 3 articles in a category on the same day and would really like the Introduction article to go first on the category page, but can't create this order using any of the ordering options for the category.

The user would like to have a drag and drop order feature for articles in a category, similar to how you can order articles in an issue.

Any news on this one? I'd be super nice to have such an option. My use case is as follows: Our journal uses a continuous publication model. Similar to what is proposed in the documentation, we open a new issue when the first article in a given year is ready for publication. Then, we add additional articles and reviews to the same issue. This works quite nicely, but now we also want to publish special issues. To make the publication process as smooth as possible, we were thinking about this model:

  1. publish each article in the regular current issue.
  2. assemble articles on a given topic in a virtual special issue using the categories feature.

Here, it'd be nice if you were able to rearrange the articles. (Actually, it would be even better to have a real second table of contents for categories.)
