Is there a way for the user to rearrange records in interface?

I have an interface that has linked table of images.

I need the user to be able to rearrange these records by hand (drag and drop) so they print nicely and the right order. This works if I do it in a view. However the user should only be in the interface. I seem to be able to find anyway to rearrange these in an interface using either a gallery or cards. 

Is it me who a missing a check box to allow this?

Hi ​@ScottWorld ,

Thanks for confirming. 

I got the manual sort to work in all the other view options - just the gallery is such a nice option when dealing with loads of images.

I’ll it as a feature request...

Unfortunately, gallery cards can not be rearranged manually in interfaces. I’m not sure why, but I would definitely submit that as a feature request to support@airtable.com.

However, you can still manually rearrange records in all the other interface visualizations (grid, list, and kanban).

To do this, you need to enable the “manual sort” option (in the sort dropdown menu) and you also need to enable the option to “edit records inline”.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, it’s really strange that they didn’t add this feature. It almost feels likes a mistake or an oversight.
