New Feature: Drag and Drop in Microsoft Lists

Microsoft recently announced a new update to enhance the functionality of Microsoft Lists.

Now, a user can drag and drop seamlessly with this new feature for Microsoft Lists! They can easily start using this option on any new or existing list to arrange your items.

Your custom ordering is saved across the entire list, and you can switch into custom order mode any time you’d like by changing the sort to Custom order.

This custom order will work in different views

The drag-and-drop feature in Microsoft Lists is incredibly versatile, supporting reordering across various views, including board view and gallery view. Whether you're grouping or filtering items, you can easily reorder them to suit your needs.

Move up and move down

For our keyboard users and screen reader users, there is a move up/move down functionality, we have implemented. Navigate to More Actions > More, and you will find the option to Move down or Move up your List item.

This feature streamlines how you manage your lists, providing a more personalized and efficient way to keep your data organized.
