Reorderable list of references

Hello,

please enhance edit coin/banknote/exonumia page to improve user experience of working with references. 

Currently if you need to change the order of references you basically need to re-add them, my suggestion is to add buttons up ↑ or down ↓ to re-order them. 

Something like this

Here are many examples how this can be achieved with even more complicated variants with drag & drop, but I'm OK with simplest case with just buttons up & down.

Thanks.

That is not very clear? What do you mean with “references”?

when you edit coin with many references often there is a need to add some specific reference at the beginning/middle of the list for consistency, for example in this case

• I might want to add reference RCV I to the third coin, but I want to add it at first place, not at the end 
• move reference RRC for the first coin from 4th place to the second

Right now to do that manipulations I need to remove all references and add them again.

Ok, I'll go for it.

Interesting. Beyond esthetics, I'm curious about the reason why you wish a specific order for references?

Probably because only the first one is used for sorting and if not all are the same it can get messy.

yes, exactly, for Roman coins where we have > 32k coins order of references is very important and helps to find duplicates

As far as I understand, database structure doesn't allow to change an order of references.

In case you want to sort by an exact catalogue, you can choose this catalogue in search and place asterix (*) to the search field. Then just sort by reference

Exactly, thanks!

Using * after selecting a specific catalogue in the filters is a very powerful way to find duplicates and missing types :-)

Can you try and see if it fits your need Arsen?

But only if the coins are in the exact same issuer, but that's a different topic…

If it's too difficult to implement, definitely I can understand it, eventually I'm also software engineer)

Let's then close this topic, there is workaround.

Indeed a nice improvement for this filter selection would be to have the possibility to mix issuers (depending on catalogues, ordering codes by issuers are useful or useless)

Consistency?

It's not user friendly to have 3 coins from  the same series with reference catalog mixed.

If you have 1, 2 and 5 euro coins of a same series I would like to see all catalog reference in the same sort order to have in only 1 sight what I am looking for. Now you are often obliged to go back and forth to these 3 pages to have a better picture. Often I copy past these number in Excel to organize them in a visual way.

While looking for something else I found this:

Move reference numbers up or down

Same suggestion from 2020.

I just made a similar request, but had forgot about this one. My argument will be:

According to the guidelines referances should be in the same order as much as possible, and I also try to add referances in the order of availability. Eg. for Denmark and colonies something like: Km, Schön, Siegs, DNF.

Added to that, some referance catalogs are more authoritarian than others. I trust my Siegs books on Danish and its colonies more than KM#/P#.

It also make it look less messy, to have the same order, but that's just about astetics.
