Operating system macOS Joplin version 3.1.20 Desktop version info Joplin 3.1.20 (prod, darwin) Client ID: 6a443486fb4247e8aba3b23a50ff505e Sync Version: 3 Profile Version: 47 Keychain Supported: Yes Revision: 8199362 Backup: 1.4.2 Rich Markdown: 0.13.3 What issue do you have? Summary When using Custom Order (the wrench), page reordering (via keyboard shortcut or drag-and-drop) seems to be broken both for custom ordering and no custom ordering. Screen capture video of this bug: Dropbox Simplest repro: Create three new pages with the "+ note+ button. (They will all have order 0.) Try to drag the third note into the second position Alternatively: highlight third page and press for "move page up" Result: The note moves all the way to the top of the note list (first position) Expected: The note moves to the second position Custom ordering repro: Create three pages with orders 0.5, 1, and 2 Drag the bottom note to the second position (or highlight it and press Result: As with the other case above, the note moves all the way to the first position Expected: Even with custom ordering, the note should still drag correctly to position 2, between the other two notes Other notes: After trying to move all the pages, drag and drop begins to work. I believe this is connected to all page orders being set to something like 1730056169509.102 by the move action. I could work around this using custom code if I knew why an order with an extremely large float works, but an order with "0.5, 1, 2" does not work. This all used to work just fine. For me the issue was introduced at least as far back as 3.0.13. For reference, I filed this other issue in 3.0.13 which was auto-closed, but all the needed bug info is contained here: Bug: Drag-and-drop page reorder, and alt+arrow to move page, set order incorrectly Edit: I've also tried setting custom Order in the range of what Joplin seems to set (e.g. 1730040000000) but this did not make any improvement.

In Prerelease 3.2.6, I don't repro with any of the workflows above :pray:

Update: still completely broken as of 3.1.22.

Confirming this is still broken in 3.1.24. Not possible to rearrange pages via drag-and-drop or shortcut. Seems like a major bug.

@laurent I've been a monthly sponsor for a while now - can I sponsor you to address this issue? It's not been possible to rearrange pages for months, which is a severe impediment to most workflows.

Bug: Page reordering always moves page to very top

This still repros but it's folder-specific and I traced it to Trash items interfering with reordering. Filing a new topic: Deleting pages breaks page reordering
