Hi Kristina,

I think we are on the same page, but using different terminology.

The "artefact chooser" I'm referring to, is a Pieforms element that lets
you choose one (or more) of your artefacts. We use it on the config page
of several blocks, including Resume, and Profile Information. If we
implemented drag-and-drop ordering in this "artefact chooser", then it
would let users rearrange the order that the selected artefacts show up,
within many different kinds of block instances. Although on further
reflection, I think the blocks that use files are using a different
Pieform element, the "filepicker", so we'd need to implement that
separately.

It sounds like what you thought I was describing was what I usually call
the "block palette", or "block picker". That's the bar down the left-
hand side of the screen when you're editing a Page's contents, that lets
you drag block instances onto a Page. And I agree, we don't need a UI
for re-ordering those at the moment. With the recent API changes, admins
can re-order those via direct database updates.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Allow re-ordering of files for File(s) to Download block

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Files can be selected in the order in which they should appear in the
  File(s) to Download block. However, when additional files are added,
  the order can't be changed to drop them in further up the list. Re-
  order buttons are needed. The block would basically stay the same but
  have ordering buttons like on the Manage Collections screen so that
  you can move files up and down.
