exactly that!

So a feature request I am really missing! It's been like 6 years waiting for something small.

I think Melissa Breau nailed the explanation. It's exactly the same situation I face every time I need to move cards up and down.

Looking again today I noticed that the scrolling speed when dragging tasks up and down a list has increased by maybe 4x on both the web and Windows apps. Works much better for me now.

I like to keep a long backlog of tasks in a single ranked list. As a developer it's easier to work from compared to 'priority' or 'severity' categories. The backlog is continuously ranked over time by the whole team with most attention at the top. A developer looking for work has only to take the topmost item. Want to prioritize something? Move it up the list. Want to put something out of mind but might come back to it someday? Bottom of the backlog. I spend a lot of time dragging items up and down the list partly because the window doesn't scroll up and down very fast.

This is SO critical. Prior version of Clickup had this. You could enter it to be position number 1.

Use case in a team of >5:

We are only working in the board view and have currently (from left to right) a Backlog column with 115 tasks, a Todo column with 35 tasks and an In progress with 4 tasks. Once a week we go through the Todo together with stakeholders from other teams and prioritise what order to work through the tasks. In this session we drag and drop the order of the tasks in the column so that the most prioritised are at the top, and the least at the bottom.

Since we have more tasks than can fit on a screen at any given moment it would be very handy to have buttons on the task to "move up/move down" and "move to top/move to bottom".

Once a month we do the same with our Backlog column, and it is more or less impossible to move tasks up and down to the right spot by drag-and-drop.

We would also really like to have the manual order number in the task so you can enter a position of the task directly.

All of this was present in 2.0 but disappeared in 3.

My primary use case is in a list view. I have different lists where different people set different priorities, so the priority would not be on the task itself, but within a list view. I frequently have long backlogs, where dragging and dropping tasks is a pain - grab the drag handle and scroll and scroll and scroll .... I often know I want the task close to the top or close to the bottom, so if I could do THAT in one click (or at least without scrolling and dragging) then I could drag and drop it among the top 10 or bottom 10 a lot easier. Thanks!

I don't know if i speak for everyone but this is the use case for me: https://www.loom.com/share/f9782449b9d64a8a8b87a7981b8dcaf5?sid=5ca9b315-cc94-4a5e-85a3-d61d2e07b491
