Sorting

So far, enjoying Zotero. It would be nice, especially in collections window, to be able to drag collections into custom order (not alpha). Maybe that's possible now, but I haven't figured out how.

FWIW, I'm not so sure it's a good idaa to allow this, as it makes the data model, the RDF exhange format, and the GUI more complicated. In each case, you have to explicitly add a mechanism to track position (since this is a relational databae underneath, where order by default is unimportant). And it means as a user you also must then account for order.

You may want to just organize the list by the "date added" column. Or the Zotero programers could just add another database property "personal order"
