Easy way to set articles order

Hello!
I have 100 articles with order values 1..100.
How to easely make 100-th article to be before 30-th?
I see only the way to manually change its order by clicking "Move up" 70 times.
If I want to change order 90..100-th articles to go before 30-th, I have to do 70*10=700 clicks and page refreshs.
Any ideas how to make it more easy?

Did you try writing value 30 inside the ordering cell of the item ,
and then clicking "save icon" at the top of the ordering column?

Well, item ordering could be improved. I also have sometimes 50 or so items in one category. Of course, if there is only one item to order it might be ok, but if you for example copy or translate articles into different categories they all receive the order number "0". The only way the order the items fast is to fill in all order numbers manually and click save...

Zoo for example has an easy AJAX click and move feature for ordering!

I am confused. I guess you mean J3.0?

Implementing re-ordering with drag and drop is really not that difficult, and involves a lot less work than many other tasks done for FLEXIcontent last year

Just will not add to current version, for next major one yes

It does not work. I have solid numeration from 1 to 100. If article with order=30 is already exists (and it exists!), nothing is done after ckicking "save".

Also the problem is, that "Move up" and "Move down" does not work when I filter by category.

So if it is not difficult, I think it is very important do implement this. Now there is no any order tools AT ALL for sites bigger 10 pages.

Drag'n'drop it not a good solution when you have 1000 articles. The best way to sort is as you said before: to specify `order`, use it, all existing articles with this order must became having order++.

mmm, did you do what the warning said?

FLEXIcontent has multiple categories
-- filter by a category
-- select to exclude subcategories

I do not see any warning, but I tried what you said:
- all articles showed with order = 0
- no any effect on "move up" - only page refreshes

mmm, I have added ordering via (multiple) drag and drop and then clicking a single save (the save button at top of column)

but about ordering sub category items i have to say this:

FLEXIcontent supports 2 orderings

1. Global item ordering
2. Ordering per category

When you filter by a category then you are setting Ordering per category
-- but about subcategory item that belong to multiple categories, which of their category order would we save ???
