Why, oh why, do I not have control of how I order elements on a Dashboard interface? I want to put a list view first, at the top of the interface. There seems to be no way to do that. The first option to add is a count, then I can add bar graphs and pie charts, etc, and then lists and pivot tables have to go at the bottom. A list or pivot table can't be dragged to the top, nor the pie and bar graphs dragged below. This is a huge pain and I do not understand why there is no option to arrange elements the way I want them, the way they make the most sense. Am I missing something here? Doing something wrong?

That's true that Airtable won't let you drag a list on top of the charts within the same group, but what you can do is create a new group that only has a list in it, and move that group on top of the other group.

Agree that this is super annoying, @LKSmith@ScottWorld is correct that the best way to address is to make a new group that only has the list or other views you can't place above numbers/charts. Would love to know why it is set up this way or if there are plans to change the ordering.

I see what @ScottWorld is saying, that does work! It's still annoying though, since you have to re-do all the filters in the new group instead of being able to use what's already set up. C'mon Airtable, just let us drag stuff where we want it!

Yeah, I don't know why we can't drag lists above charts within the same group! Be sure to email support@airtable.com to request this as a feature.
