This is specifically about the [World] Articles & Categories page.
I found myself many times now accidetially moving or putting folders into another folder which stumps my progress at times. Or when I simply want to open a folder section I so metimes move it. It would be nice to have a function to lock the folders in place so this wouldn't happen by accident anymore. Made me think I lost my mind and my work.
So what I'm tinking on how to set this is next to the Reload symbol make a Lock Symbol. Then have the Categories be able to be moved around in the desired order. This then would alos allow for sub-folders or folders being moved into others. Once done, you get out of the Lock mode and the folders stay as they are allowing for Articles to be pulled into said Folders without them beinng moved around.
I sure don't know much aabout coding but I immagining something of the likes of Folders being 1 and Articles being 2 then if 1 I locked (state 0) then 2 can be moved, if 1 is unlocked (state 1) 2 ca't be moved into ore around.
Apologies to the Team if this is in the wrong categories, I wasn't quite sure where to put it.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! We're closing this suggestion, as that interface will be updated in a way that will solve this by design.

on 2025-02-08 23:59Yes, please! I will frequently work using my iPad. Using the touchscreen instead of a mouse makes it where I will often accidentally move a category when trying to simply scroll the screen.

on 2025-02-07 07:38This would be so useful. I'm so tired of spending 5+ minutes resorting my category folders to where I want them every time the page refreshes.
