Lists: Drag and Drop needs to return
There seems to be a trend over the years on most of the sites that I visit. Updates on youtube, IGN, imdb, a myriad of sites getting awful new comment systems, they all take something that works efficiently, and proceed to dial it back 10+ years. Like drag and drop, it made creating/editing lists quick and easy. Want to add a new item? Well then, drag it to where you want to go! Want to reorder a number of list items? Drag them away, it will take seconds! But ever since IMDb's last update, you now type in the number you want an item to go to, scroll right up to the top to save it and essentially refresh the page EACH TIME, because you don't know how it's going to look. So you'll literally have to refresh the page over and over and over, taking forever. It's so inefficient, so off putting, so antiquated despite being the year 2018 and still no action taken by the site. The only user input on this site is making lists, which creates a ton of revenue (for the site; some get hundreds of thousands, even millions of views per week). Thus making those lists should not have to be a battle, particularly when it never used to be. It shouldn't be ignored for months on end as if the problem will go away and it will magically get easier to edit, because it's not happening.
