Have you ever been frustrated with the slow progress of moving an action from one end of a list of actions to the other?  I know I have.  I have a simple suggestion to speed up the process of moving actions.  Place a drop-down menu containing all the available list positions next to the 'Move' label. For example, if the contained 20 actions, the drop-down menu would have positions '1' - '20'.  Then I could select the position I want to move the action by simply selecting a value from the drop-down menu.

Something to think about anyway.

Did you know you can just type overtop of the number in the list?

 Paul,

I did not know that.  I am a little embarrassed but delighted to know I can move actions around that easily.  I will give it try right now.

Don't be embarrassed.  It's on us - we should have made that more obvious, and saved you the frustration.

I would go nuts when customzing if I didn't have the ability to move the 50th action to the 2nd spot without a simple edit and tab!

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but this reminded me of something I've been wishing for but forgot to mention.

It would be awesome if there was a way to move a block of actions to a position.

For example, I add 5 actions that need to start at position 10 of 50, currently I have to move the first to 10 then the next to 11 etc. If I could just pick all 5 of them and move the first to 10 and have the remaining four automatically move to 11, 12, 13 and 14 that would save quite a bit of time.

Matt,

We'll take this suggestion into consideration and see if and how it would be best to make this area of Method easier. Thanks for the hijack.

Hey Matt

In these situations we've found that starting from the last action and working up allows you keep adding the same position number.

Hey Mark,

Nice tip!
