Feature request: Drag and drop file re-ordering on patch page

OWL Patches
#1

Hi. I’ve noticed that the order in which files are uploaded affects compilation (in my case, I’m uploading several pd files for a custom patch). If the _main.pd file is not topmost, compilation fails.

To that end, it would be pretty useful to have a “drag and drop” interface for each file upload element, in order to make it possible to re-order your uploads. You know, the type with a kind of “grab bar” to one side, that allows you to rearrange the order of the list.

Make sense?

Good suggestion, I’ve created an issue: Drag and drop file order · Issue #232 · pingdynasty/OwlServer · GitHub
Please have a look to see if I got it right.

Exactly, thanks. I noticed later that the create patch interface already provides this functionality (although without enforcing names). Something similar would suffice in Patch editing…
