sortable.js is usually the way to do this sort of reordering.

@zulipbot claim

@timabbott I'm sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean when you say sortable.js? I can't find any file by that name in the repo.

sortable.js is a JavaScript library for reorderable drag-and-drop ( they have a repo on GitHub) . Akash has already done a lot of work on this, you can check out the org-tab-drop branch in this repo and then continue from there.

@kanishk98 yeah the dragging part is done in the org-tab-drag. The remaining part is -

• Update the tooltips
• Update the index of the orgs

I've been trying to solve the tooltips problem, and I'd like some clarity here:
the initTabs() method in app/renderer/js/main.js calls initServer() using the following code:

const servers = DomainUtil.getDomains();
if (servers.length > 0) {
	for (let i = 0; i < servers.length; i++) {
		this.initServer(servers[i], i);
		DomainUtil.updateSavedServer(servers[i].url, i);
		this.activateTab(i);
	}

If we're looking to update the server icons, should we also be changing the json file containing domain information?
(Since DomainUtil.getDomains() uses that file to pass domains to servers)

I think in order to get everything right, we gotta save the index of the domain otherwise it would be difficult to keep track of all the indexes after dragging/reloading etc.

@zulipbot I have already made two PRs that are pending for review. Also I am working on both of the issues.
Please allow me to take this one up too.

@manavmehta sure go ahead. I would suggest to build up on PR #617.

Hi, is that feature available already? The discussion here is rather old, and I can't find a way to do that (or even in the settings). I'm on the macOS app.
Thanks!

It is not; the latest work is this stale PR: #1059

Contributions are welcome!

I would really like to have this feature as well. Unfortunately it seems that the mentioned PR #1059 is stale. Are there updates happening somewhere else?
