Lucas: drag and drop doc order

[kevindherman]

@jlyon the drag and drop feature for ordering documents is disabled only on Lucas' site.

https://www.lucastexas.us/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=document&orderby=title&order=asc

If you try and grab an item the cursor doesn't change to the drag and drop feature but it does work correctly on other sites I tested.

[jlyon]

Yes, this is because they are no longer sorting their documents by drag and drop, they are now sorting them automatically by date posted:
.

This was implemented after this release: #1097. Is this not what should be happening for them @kevindherman ?

[kevindherman]

@jlyon is that feature per widget or per site? So if you enable sort by post date can you no longer use drag and drop for other document list widgets?

[jlyon]

@kevindherman No, it is per list widget. I just disabled the drag and drop on Lucas because it seemed like it was a consistent source of struggle, but lmk and I can re-enable the drag and drop on the backend of Lucas.

[kevindherman]

@jlyon yeah, could you re-enable it? I'll then explain the per widget thing to them better which will hopefully ease the struggle.

[jlyon]

@kevindherman Just re-enabled it. I'll avoid disabling the drag n drop in the future.

[kevindherman]

@jlyon this can be closed.

@kevindherman, as you know, the hard part is that updating the order will not be reflected necessarily . They must then save the documents after ordering them for the process to actually take hold. Not ideal but a work-around
