I would like to be able to drag/drop files in the file explorer into a custom sort that can be toggled on/off along with other sort options.

Where I came from as well. Out of curiosity, do you also miss subpages?

In the starred pane, currently it has already allow custom sort. In file explorer for custom sort, I believe it will happen.

yeah only way to solve this for now is the rename folder with A/B/C/ or 1/2/3… sadly

Small QOL feature: I would love to be able to manually reorder my list of folders in file list instead of alphabetical or most recent. The current work around is putting numbers/prefixes to order them a certain way, but theres downsides to that obviously Also I believe starred list only orders in m…

+1 this seems a little thing but for me would be a big improvement in my workflow and I hate having to put numbers in file names and directories
