to need to arbitrarily reorder lines of a list field.
My idea of how to do this is to drag the lines to where I want them, which

Martin,
The following is my technique for reordering in HyperCard and also for
moving from field to field on a single card. This is my to do list (in
various categories), calendar and generally where I spend most of my life.

Same here with 2.4.2b1.

After investigation I conclude that, it is setting the hilitedline[s] from
a script that has the side effect of vertically centering the line.
The transcript dictionary doesn't mention it affecting the scroll at all

I'm wondering what the easiest way is to implement this feature. I
have a normal list field with items that I'd like to be able to click
and drag up or down.
I'm contemplating using mouseDown to grab them and, upon mouseUp,
measure which line it is closest to and move it. I'd also need to come
up
Martin,
Thank you for a very explanative description of the problem. It is
interesting that the "select line x of field y" works properly...
Hopefully it can be fixed for the next release,

Wow! The script looks complicated but it's exactly the functionality I
wanted (but didn't think I could get). Thank you!

You could look at the code in Navigator, which does this. An older
version is in your plugins folder; it implements drag and drop with a
line showing where the drag will end up. The latest version
implements drag and drop in a different way, making the change
immediate as you drag. You can
In one of the products I built, I use dragShield, which Jan Schenkel wrote

Monterey.
I found it easy to implement and it's 100% reliable.

Here is a script I wrote for drag and drop buttons. I wrote it a few
months ago when I was just starting out, so there may be some bad
coding conventions!
It creates a group of buttons from a data field, and colors them
gradually from green to blue (!)
Then, the user can drag them whereve
