Hi Gary,

With that many records, dragging won't be ideal.

What about taking another approach and reducing the number of records to drag past by using a search query?

Setup a custom search option under the Searching tab for that section editor. Use something like this:

_all_
Name|name|keyword

The default search is searching everything but when you click the More.. link on the section editor page, you can search the Name field by keyword. 

Search the Name field for Specials and it should return the SPECIALS category and the SPECIALS 2018 category. Now you can drag the SPECIALS 2018 category to the top.

I tested this out and it works for me. Does this sound like an option?

That's more or less what I did, just wanted to bring it up that if you have to drag past the top of the screen, it doesn't work.  I have the same issue in the section editors.  It can be a real pain to have to add a few tables and then move them up about 50 or so tables in the section editor.  I was wondering if there was a bug or that's just the way it is.

Thanks for the reply.

Gary.
