    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      From editor feedback page:

      How amazing would it be to simply click-and-hold on a row, move the mouse to another part of the table, and the row moves automagically? This would be an amazing trade-up for the wiki markup - I have to cut, hit up or down arrows a bunch, and paste from a keyboard, but I would just have to move my mouse if using this.

            As far as document management goes, confluence is "almost" good enough while falling flat on it's face short when you try to manage semi-formal or formal documentation with it. Feature like this (as space specific option, NOT as global or nothing option) would be a good start.

            Relying on 3rd party tools to provide any kind of approval status/workflow is painful, even more so when they prove not to be working for you as intended. It would be a fair compromise to provide sufficient metadata and tooling in vanilla confluence configuration and let the 3rd party tools enhance and improve on this. Now its just do and die with the 3rd party tools, losing all data if you need to change an addon that did all this for you.

            Google Docs just released fullpage documents like we've had in Confluence. They made this feature default in their first table feature.

            So the use case is pretty clear. People want to sort rows in a table by dragging and dropping rows up and down the table

            This is a table stakes (hah) function for a table feature in any product. I don't believe this suggestion needs more unique votes to be considered, as this is such a basic feature.

            Its little things like this that makes the big difference. We all use/need/abuse tables. I understand making the "homer simpson car" of Tables is really bad, but the simple editing sugar, like being able to use keyboard shortcuts + arrow keys to move rows up/down, columns left/right, is gonna make a real difference. Ctrl-Alt already up/down already adds a row - its just a continuation of this sugar.

            Thought I just could't find it, as there's no way it wouldn't be available, but nope - it's actually not available. As a PM, I constantly need to reorganize rows and columns, it's very frustrating that Atlassian can't create such a basic feature.

            I don't understand how this feature is missing -very basic function of a table. And TWO YEARS LATER still PENDING. I like the merge feature but the ROW MOVE missing, what's going on? Confluence won't replace my Notion, very easy to use...

            Atlassian, guys, seriously. The absence of this feature is practically the first thing that strikes when you create a table!

            Is there anyone working on adding this feature? The order of Jira table rows are not in logical flow, so I am looking to re-order the various rows, is there any solution for this?

            For Example, if I create a table of Bugs in different stages which are 'Unresolved', it's giving a table in this order:

            Open, Pending, Backlog, In Development, Ready to Test and User Acceptance Test...

            Whereas I would like to order them like this: Backlog, Open, In Development, Pending, Ready to Test and User Acceptance Test...

            Can anyone suggest me, how can I do it in Confluence?
