Create a few headings (#) and one subheading (##) and try to move the subheading below the last main heading. (See attached video. It appears video uploads are not allowed.)
This was an issue for me for quite some time on iOS (not sure about desktop) but may have been fixed recently? To my surprise it seems to work as expected in v1.12. EDIT: It failed on me once after an app restart but otherwise seems to be working.
Changed title to reflect new discovery that we can’t drag to the top either, and that attempting either can change what’s possible (was “Moving subheading below last heading in Outline doesn’t work”). Thread about the new stuff to be merged in below.
In the outline tab, try dragging a lower heading to the very top - can’t (it worked once, and I don’t know what was different)
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y
(I was able to reproduce this in a Sandbox vault)
Expected result
The dragged lower heading to go to the top of the outline.
Actual result
Dragging a lower heading to the top resulted in no change.

I can reproduce in my personal vault. I am able to move it there eventually but it takes several tries, and as in the report I see no difference or reason why some attempts work. May be the same bug as Can't drag heading to top or bottom of Outline which has existed for some time.
EDIT: Actually the other bug might have cleared up. And after dragging a heading to the bottom, I was able to consistently drag headings to the top. To verify I restarted the app. Once again I couldn’t drag to top. Dragged one to bottom, and then I was able to drag to top too (I had 1 drag-to-bottom failure but don’t recall when in the process).
