Reorder on Sort enhancement about rowreorder HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks for your thoughts on this. The data swap that RowReorder uses when the data is rows are reordered is fairly core to the software. You can tell it to use any data property in the table, although a sequence number is the most common. Perhaps there should be an option to have it not update any data property, but I don't see the benefit of that, since the ordering applied to the DataTable would just move your row back to where it should be in the table ordering. It would only be useful if sorting were disabled, but then you'd still want to update a data property (even if it is a hidden column).

Essentially, it would just add an event listener on the table sorting, so that whenever a table is sorted by a different column it would reset the sequence number of each row to whatever new row number the data is in the table.
Then if a user manually drags a row, it sets the sort to the sequence column, and does the normal row reorder data swap.

Oh I see. This example combined with the ability added to RowReorder to not update data would do what you are looking for then.

Yes. Essentially I want a user to be able to use the sorting of the table as a jumping off point so they can customize their list faster without having to drag every item to where they want. I will have a pull request shortly to add the option.
