### What I’m trying to do

sort _manually_ entries in a column

### Things I have tried

1. since i would do it with a custom sort property that updates automatically when i manually reorder the entries, I added a `sorting` property (tried both numeric and string) and selected it as sort property. no works
2. searched the docs
3. checked all view secret buttons

i think it’s not possibile.

the changelog says “Use **Group by** to define the columns, then drag and drop to reorder them.” and it must be reorder among the columns/groups, not inside its own column

> Use case or problem I’d been eagerly awaiting 1.14 because I’d seen a Kanban view for Bases on the roadmap. I’ve been using the obsidian-kanban plugin for a while, and while it does the job well enough, it’s never felt snappy and the drag-and-drop on mobile leaves something to be desired. The project is also mid maintainer-handoff, so the idea of moving to something supported by the core team got me excited. I installed 1.14 today, reconfigured the frontmatter in a bunch of my notes to work with…
