Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I need a way to insure projects that have higher priority are at the top of my list. I am sure that is by nature a typical expected human interaction. At present there is no way to do this

Describe the solution you'd like
Either provide a handle or simply clicking on the row item and allow it to be dragged up or down to its new sort position on the list.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried color coding those items that are priorities. However, if there are 25 items there are not enough colors to order them in a priority that one would prefer. It simply doesn't provide the same level of control or organization
