Description

User story

As an editor, I would like to be able to control the display order of supplementary files.

Proposed solution

Use a similar ordering mechanism as our other ordered lists.

Bonus: make it accessible with a new UI pattern. For example, rather than using drag and drop, it could be based on buttons like "move up", "move down", "move to top", and "move to bottom".

Research direction

Start by examining how the project implements its other ordered lists and where article supplementary files are displayed and edited. Done means editors can control the files' display order, with an accessible control pattern considered for moving items up, down, to the top, or to the bottom.
