A pop-up to order columns more efficiently

[omairvaiyani]

When classes have too many fields, it becomes really difficult to re-order columns in the current manner (dragging a column horizontally across the page). If a pop-up/modal was shown with just the fields in a vertical, draggable, list - it would be much easier to sort.

Bonus addition would be to export this order as a JSON, and import it to different Parse Apps (useful for development vs. production apps).

We store the order of the columns in local storage so for most users it would be a one time cost. Are you finding yourself reordering frequently?

Using the existing PIG components you'll be able to build it. I can help point you in the right direction if you're interested in contributing.

Hi @peterdotjs, I do regularly re-order the fields, especially during early development on new projects. I did see the local storage object so I knew it wouldn't be too difficult to adjust. Can you double check that "PIG components" link, it's taking me to a 404. I'll have a crack at building it.

I fixed the link.

I know this is an old thread. But wanted to ask where is default column order stored locally so it can be changed for repeat use?

I have the same issue, even on the latest version, if i close the browser and re-open it. The columns are not in the order i left them in last time.

Very nice!
