The drag and drop re-arrangement doesn't work on touch screens. An alternative way was added (the "Move elements" checkbox which shows area dropdowns), but it's incomplete and has a few bugs.

  • Can't move to specific location in area (you have to move in the right order)
  • Positioning of the dropdown is not great
  • A bug in the moving code causes the order and position to revert partially in some cases (occurs more if a lot of elements were not moved yet)

Some ideas:

  • Up and down buttons
  • And/or 1 big dropdown with all possible positions in each area
  • Try a drag and drop-like experience on touch (probably can't use the same code though)
  • Or tap once to go into a mode where another tap will move to that location

The impact is quite high as it makes changing the UI on touch screens a painful process.
