Change order of starred files by dragging and dropping
Hello,
I have maybe a half dozen files/folders currently that I have starred for easy access on my Home page, and I am wondering if there is a way to control what order they are in besides un-starring them and then re-starring with the fact that the most recent will be at the top in mind?
That method is really cumbersome, but it bothers me seeing them in whatever random order I happened to star them, as well as the fact that anything over 5 is hidden by default so potentially the most important file is not even immediately visible when I sign in.
If there is not currently another way to do this that I am overlooking, I'd like to submit it as a suggestion for future options. The ability to drag and drop them into the order a person prefers would be awesome, but even being able to organize by type, ETC would be an improvement.
Thanks!

Please get starred folders. It is the only way to work with files

The starred function is great for home page and fast access to most frequently needed files and folders. However it woudl be even better if you could edit the order in which the items appear, by dragging etc. At present the only way o order in a given fashion is to write everything down you need and add them in reverse order to the blank list. Or am I missing something here? Thanks.
- LusilDropbox StaffThanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Twyfry!You’re right, currently there’s no way to change the order of starred items manually, but I’ve made sure to pass your comments along to the dev team for future review.I’ve also moved your post to the Share an idea section of the Forum so as to keep track of your feedback.If you have any other ideas for us, don’t hesitate to give us a shout. Cheers!

Hi all,
Currently it seems like the list of starred folders sorts with the most recently added at the top. I recently upvoted an idea to be able to manually sort the list of starred folders. I'd really like to be able to manually drag and order them in any order I wished. Hopefully the developers can do this without too much difficulty.
Cheers

Hi,
Any update on this issue?
It would be such an improvement to be able to have the starred items organized in some way (other than the current one which is by most recently added).
Alphabetically at minimum but user-defined drag/drop would be the ultimate.
Thanks.

Yes!!! I have 12 documents starred and I have been trying to figure out how to reorder them so the documents I use the most are at the top of the list. I guess I haven't been able to figure it out because the feature does not exist. Please add the ability to edit order of starred docs on the Home page.

Yes! I do like a regular order of folders for easy access, but I also want to be able to group folders based on temporary activity, like tax season, or refinancing, or photo collations. Click and drag to new position ability would be great. Maybe further a reset to standard order option would be further fabulous!

Any update on what would be a very useful feature?

It seems daft that we can 'star' things in a folder but then we cannot filter or order starred items within the Dropbox interface?!
Furthermore, when I go to the 'starred' items on the web interface, there doesn't seem to be a way to display these as large thumbnails or to reorder them. Or even see their thumbnails!
Maybe I am missing something
Surely these features are needed to make this useful — look at Adobe Bridge for a great way to filter / highlight lots of files...
