Drag to reorder list items

When I have checked an item in one of my lists, it would be pretty brilliant if I could drag that item to reorder the list. The same goes for any bullet point list items.

Edit: I found the hotkey option to move a line up and down, and this works very well for now.

Check out the Outliner plugin, it might do what you want: obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-outliner.

Thanks, but it seems to only be working for sections and not individual lists.

Indeed, it works only within a list.

What about posting an FR (Feature Request) on GitHub?

It’s 2025 - any update on this? I moved from OneNote to Obsidian, love it, but I do miss the ability to drag check list items so I can re-prioritize things at will. I will look for a plugin, but I feel like this is an essential feature.

@dyslexicanaboko hi, did you find workaround?

The “Outliner” plugin has support for drag-and-drop reordering of list items.

I can’t include a link to the screencast in the plugin’s official readme, but it’s visible in the Community Plugins / Outliner page, way down at the bottom.
