request to support ordering / sorting match array

[btmurrell]

I have a need, but don't see anyone else talking about it. I need to provide the ability to reorder the selected items in my multi-select set. current behavior is they are in the order selected by the user.

i would like to enhance the ui-select directive to allow drag & drop reordering of selected items. i am considering a creating a pull with an implementation of one of the angular draggable directives (see below) to augment ui-select.

before i embark on my effort, i wanted to ask the community if anyone has this on the roadmap, or if anyone thinks one of the existing directives would be better or worse for this functionality.

thanks in advance for any solicited comments, advice, warnings, etc.

I'm going to use ui-select (or select2) in my angular JS application and also need drag&drop support. Did you have any luck with it so far?

hi peter,

no, they have not done anything (i see "ordering" on their roadmap), and i
have not either as it was not a pressing requirement for my project (we get
around currently be removing and re-adding to affect order). that sucks,
but we have small lists right now, so my users were amenable.

sorry no productive news to give you... :-/

@btmurrell Ya, I'd like this feature too but it really should be a plugin on top of ui-select so I dont think it would ever make it in this project.

I don't know when and by whom it was added, but there is the option sortable="true" which enables exactly this feature. The documentation is missing, but when you download the code and run the examples, it's shown in demo-multi-select.html

I guess we can close this now.

For the record, this feature was added in 0.10 and was contributed by @homerjam in #651. I agree that this issue should be closed now.

It would be really helpful if someone could provide some documentation for the "sortable" feature. I'm still trying to figure out why the ng-model is not updated (modelValue) after ordering selected options via form control while, the viewValue has been reordered. Hope I'm explaining this correctly. See #974.
