I mean simplest example is wordpress. Granted it’s through usage of Advanced Fields but I doubt there’s many wordpress’s out there without advanced fields that do some interesting things. Aside from advanced fields plugin itself, there are other plugins that are pretty much standard in wordpress for re-ordering posts, custom fields etc.
I can see how this can temper with the performance in large applications(talking about thousands items) but I am sure you can see the big issue in having to edit 100s of entries to change the order of items regardless of which approach you take to tackle this.
Otherwise how can our customers manage the order themselves that is not dependant on date or some value? Is there a better alternative?
Reason why I am also surprised this is not considered a bit more is especially as UI offers drag and drop and actually saves that order that you’ve created in the UI. Could we somehow gain access to that saved order list?
As dtah mentioned above I don’t like complaining about free stuff either but I am pretty sure most of the community would be ready to pay for strapi as well since it provides a lot of benefits, however these benefits are now solely focused on developers rather than final consumers(customers using CMS).
