Description
When using tables in a note, it is currently not possible to easily reorder rows. If I want to change the order of items, I have to manually cut and paste the content of entire rows. This becomes tedious and error-prone, especially when managing lists or structured information inside tables.
It would be very useful to allow drag-and-drop reordering of table rows directly inside the note editor. For example, a user could grab a row (or a handle at the beginning of the row) and drag it up or down to change its position within the table. This would make organizing information in tables much faster and more intuitive.
Currently the only workaround is manually copying, cutting, and pasting rows to change their order, which is slow and inconvenient when working with larger tables.
Drag-and-drop row reordering is a common interaction in many modern editors and would greatly improve usability when using tables as task lists, item lists, or structured datasets inside Notes.

The issue does not name files, tests, or an editor entry point. Start by locating the note editor's table handling and determine how rows are represented and selected. Done means users can drag a table row up or down and the reordered table remains correct.
