Ordering Content Type entries in the List view

It would be really beneficial if there was a way to retain the order (using order column for example) of a collection and be able to update it via drag-and-drop on the collection view.
There are many cases when we want to have a certain order of items (regardless of insert order/id/filter/sort options provided in the view), and to be able to retrieve the data using the predefined order later (as seen in the collection view for example)
Using drag and drop would help as it's really tedious to go to a huge collection and pump the order column of each item (for a CMS user) or run a query on the database (for CMS power user)
most common use case, ordering an employee list on a company website (or add a new employee at a specific position)

1.5 years later and here I am asking the same thing.
Cinzia Nicoletti
Any update here? Is urgent and very relevant!
Would anyone with me like to work on this? Until this is resolved it limits me a lot in choosing Strapi in the future....

Cinzia Nicoletti: there is a plugin that allows for this https://market.strapi.io/plugins/@retikolo-drag-drop-content-types
still will not expect strapi to make this a core feture since there are some performance implication for huge datasets

Boegie19: Thank you so much it works, even it has some bug, there is a workaround: https://github.com/plantagoIT/strapi-drag-drop-content-type-plugin/issues/24

When I showed yesterday strapi to my mkt workmate the first thing she missed was ordering with drag and drop. It's mandatory for her to adopt one cms or another. Any plans to develop this?

The lack of this simple feature is such a huge inconvenience… How can not this be prioritized after so many years?

Wow. I just started really getting into Strapi and just found out after launching the first project users can't re-order entries! Now I have to abandon. This is so unfortunate. How can such a core feature be missing. There's nearly no point to a CMS if users cant re-order entries.
