Make it easier to rearrange reading challenge prompts when creating/editing a challenge

When adding new books to reading challenges, it would be great to have an easier way of rearranging the books if you'd like to add one further up in the list.

Not being able to do this is a HUGE bother for me. I would love to be able to drag-and-drop prompts into order, and/or sort by a certain piece of data. I'll echo that this would be especially helpful for making author's works appear chronologically/together in the challenge.
I would also love to be able to automatically sort prompts alphabetically, via a button. This would be especially helpful for author-specific challenges.
By publish date would be another helpful automatic option too
Do you mean to another prompt?
Nadia Yes, apologies! Adding a prompt, but being able to arrange the list of prompts easier. I usually list books as prompts, so I wasn't clear.
gidaeon Ahh so is this the post for you? https://roadmap.thestorygraph.com/features/posts/reading-challenges-with-book-specific-prompts
Nadia Yes! But this would be in addition to that. What I mean is, if I added the first book of a series in the middle of a challenge, then add a sequel a while later, when there are several books separating them, to have an easier way of putting them together. If there is a way to do that already with the prompt numbers, then this can be disregarded though.
gidaeon Yes, prompts are listed by prompt numbers so you can edit those. Right now you'd have to manually change all the numbers though, so I'm sure there's an easier way to do that.
Maybe I'll add drag and drop functionality to all of the reading challenge prompts for hosts!
Nadia Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Thanks for helping me clarify, I definitely didn't explain it super clearly in my post ^^ That would be great if you could add it <3
gidaeon I've edited the title of this post. Do you reckon it's accurate?
Nadia Yes! That makes it much clearer, thank you ^^
Nadia Drag and drop would be super useful! I have a book-specific challenge, for a connected universe with several sub-series. The author published a new book in the first sub-series, so I wanted to add it as the new #3 in the challenge and push all later books back by 1. With the current prompt number system this involved clicking the ^ button 25 times, once for every later book, which got tedious and prone to errors.
