Summary 💡

I'd like to be able to sort the autocomplete chips.

I've tried using react-dnd in the renderTags method but there seems to be an issue.

Do you have any plan supporting this feature? Any advise otherwise?

Examples 🌈

A working example found on the net using Angular: https://stackblitz.com/edit/autocomplete-chips-drag-drop

Motivation 🔦

The autocomplete is used to select a list of ordered values (e.g., a list of sorting operations to perform in a given order ).

Research direction

Start with the autocomplete component's renderTags entry point and reproduce the reported limitation with react-dnd. Review the linked Angular drag-and-drop example for the expected chip-sorting behavior. Done means the autocomplete supports sorting its selected chips in a documented, working way.
