Draggable List Items

Reorder list items by dragging.

Works in reading view and live preview, on desktop and mobile. Tasks (- [ ]), bullets (- * +), and ordered lists (1., 1)) each form their own drag groups, so you can't drag a task into a bullet list. Nested children move with their parent. Ordered lists renumber on drop.

Usage

Hover a list item to reveal the handle, then drag. On mobile the handle is always visible.

Esc cancels an in-progress drag.

Install

Copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/draggable-list-items/, then enable in Settings → Community plugins.

Limitations

Source mode is not supported.
