I always manually re-sort the list of actors for movies / TV shows in the field "Actors". In MC18 I could do it simply by dragging the items using mouse, however in MC19 this does not work e.g. the items can't be dragged at all. Is this a bug or "feature" or am I missing anything?

[MrC]

Dunno.

But, do you sort by first name, or last name?

? There is no such option - only "Sort All"... (I think you misunderstood my post)

[MrC]

I'm sure I often misunderstand posts, but not in this case.

I was going to show you a very fast way to sort all your actors for all your movies in one shot, but it will only work correctly if you are (manually) doing your sorting by first name.

[Johnny B]

I neither sort them by first name nor last name but by importance thus manually. I edit each movie in the Action window and there is only Sort All option which I never used in MC18 anyway.

[MrC]

Maybe when some of the drop down list changes were made in 19.0.22, drag-n-drop sorting was lost, but I'm not certain of this at all.

You'll be happy very soon...

drag and drop is indeed broken, but for now right-clicking on an item in the list, and choosing move up/down works.. not perfect, nontheless

great.

The issue is NOT fixed (19.0.54) as the item can be dragged only by 1 position up / down!

indeed.

it makes tagging a bit of pain... and when somebody is looking at it, maybe I could add a small request for us who prefer to use the keyboard. I have not found a way to enter the list, even when you add something, when you want to select it, you have use the mouse, but clicking takes away the check mark, so you have to check it again before you can drag. now when there would be a way to enter the list with a keyboard, like ctr arrow, and then with alt arrow you could move an item in the list.

that would be sweet. or when there are those key combis, and somebody would enlighten me.

JRiver, are you aware of this issue?

Next build:
Fixed: Drag-n-drop ordering in a list editor would not allow dragging an item more than one spot per drag.

Sorry it took a while to get this one.

FIXED (19.0.82)
Thank you
