Users often request an ability to drag a row or column and have it switch with another so that they can quickly move information around. In google docs the ability to quickly drag a row and switch its position has seen it become very popular, In excel the function is achieved by a cut and insert paste which drops the row down below the cut row. The ALT key which works in the standalone does not work in the online version. Function not working in LOOLWSD 4.2.0 git hash:fafb01f or earlier (collabora office 6.2-3). Press and hold the Alt Key while dragging the header and nothing happens. The expected behavior can be seen here https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/issues/783 Currently is does not work at all and I suggest it is a feature upgrade rather than a bug in the online version.
Sounds like a reasonable enhancement.
Hi all, I noticed there are still no improvements to column/row reordering in the latest Collabora release (Nextcloud Office 25.x, COOLWSD 25.04.5.2). This was raised before back in early 2023 , but it seems to have gone quiet. On the desktop version of LibreOffice Calc, you can Alt+Drag columns and rows to reorder them quickly. In Collabora, however, the only current methods are: Sorting (not always useful if you want a custom order) Cut + Insert Cut Cells Copy + Delete + Paste This is a 4-step process for something that should be as simple as drag-and-drop. Given that a lot of recent updates have been focused on UI color themes and UX polish, it would be fantastic to see this basic spreadsheet functionality addressed. For those of us who work in spreadsheets daily, being able to drag and reorder rows/columns is a huge quality-of-life improvement. Is there any roadmap update or active discussion on whether this is planned for Collabora Online? Thanks, Christian
