Drag + drop ordering, instead of just 'move up' and 'move down'
User Story Template:
As a Solution Builder or EA user
I want The ability to drag and drop to rearrange the ordering, rather than clicking 'move up' or 'move down', everywhere that ordering can be manually set
So That It takes less time to order things manually
Benefits Less effort to make changes, but also more likely that ordering will be correct as at the moment many people just don't bother.
Acceptance Criteria For instance, at the moment, you can drag and drop themes into the right order - but you can't drag and drop fields ON a theme in the right order, in Manage Themes. Matrix columns, groups in libraries, and various other places have inconsistencies too and the manual drag-drop is so much easier and less time consuming to do!

I tend to sort on field type but by where it 'fits' logically. E.g. if you have a project theme with a 'Cost RAG', a 'CSAT RAG', a 'Schedule RAG' and an 'Overall RAG' I would want the overall to be at the start or end rather than alphabetical. But definitely being able to make fast changes would be useful and sorting by name or type would be a good bonus.
The pain that triggered this specific one was adding an ID field to a theme with about 50 columns, then clicking 'up' a ton of times... then realising I had to add two more fields and do something similar. And it has been a pain in the past with other areas, e.g. where you have had to 'right-click, move up' and then 'right-click, move up' again or where you have had to find the up arrow which then moves a little bit etc.

Yep! We have around 100+ fields on one of our biggest types, and had to add 15 more fields beginning with A (as in Application). That's roughly 15*100 clicks ~1500 (give or take a few). Drag'n'drop would help much here either since it would be turned into a scrolling pain instead.
Edit: Jason, could the story be expanded to include a bigger "I want"? or would that be detrimental for its success? I was thinking other sorting mechanisms like we talked about here in the comments.
