How to reorder items in the browser

Hi, the blue marker suggests that it is possible to move the elements in the browser but I can't figure out how to do it, does anyone have the solution?

You can drag and drop, but I suspect your workflow will prevent that.  You have top layer sketches instead of having each component's sketches in the component.

The only way I know you can reorder the browser is to move the component (or sketches) in the timeline. Personally I always try and keep all the features that make up a component in a single block in the timeline, so moving a component along the timeline will depend on any dependencies to other features.

 

Note. You can move components around the browser tree in direct edit mode to reorder them.

In history mode you can drag one component into another so that's probably why you still get the blue marker. This doesn't really move the component though, it's just a cut and paste in the timeline.

Ok thank you both, that's what I thought. It's a shame not to be able to easily and intuitively reorganize the browser once the design is finished. This chronology is more restrictive than useful
