its coming!!!

Thank you for putting this feature in place! It looks great, and I love the automatic numbering.

I'm working with tables that require me to order rows by priority. Having to delete, copy, add a row and finally paste the row (that I just copied) is a big hassle. I expect this table to grow in size as my whole organization wants to reference this table as a source of truth for upcoming product features.

It would be super dope to have an easier way to rearrange rows/columns. I would also keep me from switch to a service a like Notion. I think Atlassian provides a the best 360 suite for product teams and would hate to add another tool.

I use tables a lot instead of checklists, as I find them more versatile. But the lack of simple drag-drop of rows/columns is really annoying! Would love to see a fix/function for this.

Hi there !
Thank you for your support !

Any news on this ? Any delivery target in sight ?

My company recently switched to confluence, and I have been a fanboy ever since - then I found out it's not possible to reorder rows inside of tables. 😭 

Excited to hear that progress is being made on this feature. Hoping this gets shipped soon!

Really keen to have this added as I am finding myself using Confluence less and less and Miro more and more due to the lacking features on Confluence. Would be great to have all things in one place but the feature set needs to be there.

Since I can't convince my company to switch to Notion, let's hope this one gets out of the door soon 🤞

Yup. It's been 6 years since my first comment on this thread. I've registered for their research session, let's see if I 1) I get called, and 2) anything comes out of this. I've been part of a zoom call with them already years ago, but nothing come out of it. Let's hope this time they can get something out for customers, which let's be honest, many of us won't get to see until it gets picked up by our company's enterprise version, anyways.

Love that the work and research is starting on this thank you!

I am working with tables and texts to sort it according to importance. One suggestion for the Confluence on web would be to introduce a keyboard shortcuts to move lines up/down inside ordered / unordered lists / tables. This feature was brought to light by Dropbox Paper and was indeed very usable.

Hi everyone,

My name is Phaemie, a Product Designer on the editor team. We are looking for participants for a user test on Confluence tables.

Details

This user test will take place online, and is an opportunity for you to share your valuable feedback about the existing tables experience with us. During the one-hour session, you will be asked to complete a series of tasks using our tables in Confluence cloud.

As a token of our appreciation, participants will receive a small award for their time.

Interested?

Apply for the user test here

Please note that limited spots are available. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help improve Atlassian products!

No offense, but does a change of assignee means that the previous product manager was fired?

Hello, I see the feature is in progress: do we have any estimated time on when it will roll out? Our team continues to ask about this and I'd rather not purchase a plugin if this feature might roll out soon. Thank you!

As a product manager, I enter large amounts of data, some of which need to be reordered. Cutting and pasting is time consuming and can disorient me to my table.

How do you not have reordering rows or columns on your tables roadmap? It's insane you can't do this basic function.

And a prime reason why teams are using tools like Notion and Confluence decidedly feels like something from 2012 (because it pretty much is). 

Hi Tiffany, It seems 25847 is the 3rd most requested feature here. Will it by any chance make it to the short-term roadmap?

Friends:  I stand corrected. We can actually see their backlog board, and it appears this feature is In Progress.  It has the 3rd most votes as of right now:

https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?filter=-5&jql=project%20%3D%20CONFCLOUD%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20votes%20DESC%2C%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC

Does Atlassian use (care about) their own Voting system for feature requests?  Because I'm curious to know what feature/issue has received MORE votes than this one.

Confluence Product Manager:
If the work/consideration for this enhancement is in actual progress, please just communicate it to us.  And if not, let us know, so we can make decisions accordingly.

1000s +1 shaking their head in disapproval Come on, guys, we need this one.

I happen to stumble into here thinking that surely I'm missing the obvious.  The recommended approach by the project manager is not working for me.  I too am amongst the thousand(s?) shaking their heads. 

Amazing that Jira Backlogs allow drag and drop and confluence cant do it. I'm in SharePoint now for most stuff anyway.

Let's arrange a birthday party for the ticket we have just over 3 months to sort a venue.

Remembering 2012 almost 11 years ago:

The number one song in US was Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen in the USA or Payphone by Maroon5 in the UK.

Moneyball, directed by Bennett Miller, was one of the most viewed movie released in 2012 while The Great Destroyer by David Limbaugh was one of the best selling books.

On TV people were watching True Love. If you liked videogames you were probably playing Closure or Blades of Time.

The US president was Barack Obama (Democrat), the UK Prime Minister was David Cameron (Conservative), Pope Benedict XVI was leading the Catholic Church.

What a good year for film, politics, music and art.
Must have been a BAD YEAR FOR TICKETS

I've given up on having this feature implemented before I retire. It's clear that there's no benefit in them implementing it, and actually shipping it to customers. The improvement we're asking for won't improve their quarterly goals, and it won't increase the value of the share, so why would they bother. 

Maybe some day, some hackathon project will make it all the way though its bureaucratic process and make it to customers. Until that they comes, we can still vent about the frustrating situation in here, with all you lovely folks. 

I see 2 Suggestion tickets, this one (25847) and 72097, that appear to be duplicates.

This one has almost a 1,000 votes and the other should be closed and moved into here.

I have Two questions for @Sam Ugulava, the product manager who last commented on this suggestion over a year ago.

1). This is a core feature.  If you're not going to implement this, don't pretend you listen to the customer.  Just shut down this Suggestion facade.  Pretending to listen to the customer and do nothing just ticks us off and makes us look around for another product.

2). Could you please post and explain WHY this feature isn't implemented?  I could perform this function in any spreadsheet 30 years ago.  So far it's been crickets.

BTW - Your alternative approach is not helpful.

– Anticipating your response,

Signed, a loyal customer who is running out of patience.

Funny how much people struggle with it and Atlassian decides to not implement such a basic feature... come on... There are so many people out there just waiting for that because they don't know there is a "vote" procedure... 

I'm surprised that this wasn't on the roadmap for tables. Since there is already a feature to highlight a row, take it just one step further and allow users to drag and drop that row. Please!

My dear god please add this feature. 

It's crazy that after all this time and with so many votes and comments, this simple feature is still not implemented  

It's always annoying to lose so much common functionality by moving the market leader in Enterprise wikis and experience and ever-growing ignorance of the vendor to customer requests. In honesty, our whole team is looking back to the ease of work with other tools used before the company decision tom use Confluence. And this one is just one of 100 Examples. 

Is this really not a feature yet? That's a huge miss by Atlassian. I'll insert a google sheet.

Cmon guys, tables are not usable, there is no sorting, no reordering... we have to insert google sheets to make tables more or less usable...

This is a must have feature for any table editor.

+1 on this feature.

+1 to all previous comments requesting this feature. Much needed! Also simply being able to sort a table A-Z in relation to a specified column. 

Google Docs just released fullpage documents like we've had in Confluence. They made this feature default in their first table feature.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rxjSx88bvg50m6snZIM-Dv7AVtXO5pr3/view?usp=sharing

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 easily my biggest need with Confluence.  Creating a project planning page with a table that has dozens of rows, and not being able to do a full re-sort when needed, was so clunky that we switched to using a shared Excel spreadsheet.

^^ Please reprioritize this feature!! Its extremely time consuming to copy and paste the ordering where we need it to be.   

Hi, we need this basic feature please.

How is it possible that this STILL hasn't been implemented? It's actually kind of amazing at this point.

This functionality would be very useful, especially all the while one cannot sort the rows on a the values in a particular column. It's a functionality found in other web-based services like Miro.

Use Case:
We make our PRDs in Confluence for all roadmap-items. We break down large JTBD into manageable peaces in requirement tables where we can link to Jira epics etc.
These are scored and sorted in a table, and when we want to switch place on a row, move something up and down etc as research is done.

Feedback on copy/paste rows up and down:
The expected behaviour is to just grab de row and drag it up or down. Copy pasting rows to change order wasn't even considered as a solution and I didn't even know about that functionality until I joined this forum. ( I actually joined this forum only for the purpose of letting you know that you lack the drag & drop rows in tables )  

Your roadmap seem to not have much frontend features
Seems drag & drop rows isn't on your roadmap yet. Not much frontend seem to be. Maybe you can put it in the roadmap soon? I really miss it.

Use Case:
For a project i'm starting, I'm not to the point of needing Jira tickets yet.  Right now I just want to use Confluence for the planning stage, and create a list/table of items/tasks.   And as I work on the ongoing prioritization, I want the ability to easily drag-drop items to change their position in the list.  Using Cut/Paste to insert is a bit clunky, because we're all spoiled in 2022, and this feels a bit outdated.  I just want to drag-drop to re-order the items, similar to moving tickets in a Jira backlog.

FFS, I think I requested this like over 15 years ago and it still hasn't happened! In regard to the use case, it's painfully obvious: to be able to re-order rows in table. Data in a tabular format needs to be re-ordered or moved around, this is a concept in almost every data table I've ever seen. Whether this is drag & drop, or simply from an overflow menu (e.g., Move Row Up, Move Row Down). This isn't rocket science, just let us move rows up and down without having to do clunky BS like copying & pasting while praying it doesn't mess the rest of the table up. 

745!

I still think I'll get to have grandchildren before this feature gets implemented. I'm not even a father yet.

Maybe we'll get this feature when we're all working in the Metaverse while hooked up to our Matrix pods.

My vote pushes it up to 731... We'll definitely put humans on the moon again before this feature makes it into Confluence.

year 2040 : humans have colonized Mars. Confluence yet to bring rearrange rows feature!

my vote makes it 724, crazy this isn't a 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 function but the ROW MOVE missing, what's going on? Confluence won't replace my Notion, very easy to use...

Add another vote for this seemingly simple feature. Also, would column sort be so hard to add too??

It's so that we can hold hands while we get sucked into the singularity.

Giovanni - Agreed!

I never see when they are going to do it.  Atlassian does NOT listen to their customers.  I keep seeing enhancements come through that no one is asking for and provides little benefit to Me.  This basic enhancement would be a large benefit.  I don't understand why simple enhancements can't be incorporated into the product.  @Sam Ugulava - as Product Manager do you have anything to say?  When will this be on the supposed roadmap?  I have never seen anything I've requested over the last 5 years implemented.  Why do you bother having these "Suggestions" if they just go into the black hole?
