Reordering Check-lists in a card

Hi! 

I used to be able to reorder my check-lists within a card, which was helpful to me to be able to switch how I was prioritizing my to-do lists. That feature seems to have gone away, and now when you create a check-list, it is always put on the bottom with no way to move it to a different location in the card. I noticed that with the previous update. Is there a different way to reorder check-lists or are they now all positioned in the order they were created? 

Thanks for your help!

It's Nov 13, 2025. Still unable to reorder checklists on desktop or mobile versions on a card or template card. New checklists appear at the bottom. This is ridiculous when it used to be so easy to do.

Hi @Kat Sturtz ,

Welcome to the community!

Thank you for the details about your use case!

While this exact functionality isn’t currently available in Trello, I have gone ahead and created a new feature suggestion for you with our product team which you can access here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-1613

I have also added these comments as an internal comment to this report so that way our engineering team can reference it and also use it to help align priority. I would also recommend you visit that suggestion, log in with your Atlassian account, and click Start watching this issue on the right panel. This will help our product and engineering team understand more about which functionalities our users are interested in. Also, when the ticket is updated by our product team, you'll be notified via email.

You can learn more about this by reading our Implementation of New Features Policy.

I too am diappointed that this feature is no more. Not on desktop browser either. Some have suggested it is but I don't think so.

Hi, Brynn!

Are you trying to order those checklists on mobile? Using desktop browsers, you should be able to drag and drop checklist items to reorder them.

I believe the OP is asking how to re-order an entire checklist when there are multiple checklists within one card.  The question is not about re-ordering a checklist item within one single checklist, it is asking about the whole checklist.  I have the same issue, and it is a lost functionality sometime in 2024.  We used to be able to re-order multiple checklists within a card. This is disappointing loss of functionality because it makes no sense and isn't complicated.
