+1 !!!

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: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/outliner-plugin-by-vslinko/106125.

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?

Itā€™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 ā€œOutlinerā€ plugin has support for drag-and-drop reordering of list items.

I canā€™t include a link to the screencast in the pluginā€™s official readme, but itā€™s visible in the Community Plugins / Outliner page, way down at the bottom.

Maybe on desktop but canā€™t reproduce on Android.

Attempting to give this a stronger +1:

This feature is literally the only thing keeping me from moving from Notion to Obsidian. Free dragā€™nā€™drop organisation (on both desktop and mobile) is a hugely beneficial UI feature when working with complex documents or productivity stuff, and I fear itā€™s being underestimated.

Has anyone tried [New Plugin] Dragger: Notion-style drag-and-drop for all blocks ?
