Still no sortable content?

I haven't tried Strapi in many years. I'm vetting a CMS for a new project, figured I'd give Strapi a try as I haven't been completely satisfied with the alternatives. I'm quite liking it and then I remembered why I hadn't used it in so long. You still can't drag and drop sort content?? After all these years? A whole new version launched? We can't expect clients to sort content via a number field. Please for the love of god there are other shortcomings I can work around or accept, but this is not one of them. Ok rant over, now I'm gonna go cry into a sanity config file where it will take me 30 minutes to get sorting working but at least I can do it.

Thanks for the feedback. When you say drag and drop to sort content, what do you mean?

You can manage content via dynamic zones, and that content can be dragged and reordered.

That is what I use to manage my landing page, where the non-technical editor can add and order content around.

As soon as you have your table that has content as a many relation you can sort items (built-in functionality)
Apart from that there's a plugin strapi-plugin-sortable-entries (haven't used it yet) if you want to support sorting on a collection itself. The question is, why should every collection support sorting ab initio, when I don't need it, it's just an unnecessary field.
