Simple way to move elements in project browser

[kristina]

I imported a long list of elements. EA chose a sorting order I did not like (each element's name started with a number, and 100_xx was sorted before 9_xx, etc).
I cannot find any way to move several elements up or down at once, or to move one element several steps up or down in the project browser. I have to move each element by clicking the up or down arrow one step at a time. Many clicks = my arm is hurting.
Suggestion: implement a drag-and-drop function. Make it possible to move several elements with one click or one drag-and-drop.
Or maybe there is another solution I have not found...

What a great idea,
see re-order selected objects  (2010)

We have learnt that the only way to achieve enhancements is to:
1) submit a feature requestfor this, and get all your friends to submit the same request (size matters)
2) ask all the companies who provide you with professional training to submit a feature request, their opinion matters much more than ours

Thanks, skiwi
We can just keep trying...
One of the links you posted helped me a little regarding another problem - how to update several objects at once. Not the answer I wanted - since there seems to be no straightforward way, but at least it saves me googling time - now I know what options I have.

That's very funny skiwi, at the same time as being true as well !  I would add "and your friends' friends too" !

There should be a list of submitted feature requests with voting by community members like many other sites have. Otherwise there are a million feature requests and no idea of what is really important to the users.

What a good idea. Send in a feature request

Well, I guess we already did so a zillion times

Truly, and "the horses they rode in on too!"

We need all the help we can get.
