Confluence - move table rows up or down easily

[Jonathan Cogley]

It would be nice to easily move table rows up or down when editing a wiki page. We often have tables of data and need to reorder them easily. You can cut and paste a table row but it is slow and tedious. Having an easy up and down button would be great.

[Andrei Latyshau]

In the new Confluence use ctrl+shift+X and ctrl+shit+V to cut and paste rows. By that you don't need to select the whole row: just put cursor in some cell of it. Very convenient!

[Steffen Heller]

That actually works, thank you.

[Sascha Rinaldi]

ctrl+shift+X and ctrl+shit+V doesn't work for me on a Mac. Any ideas?

[David Bishop]

On a Mac: command-shift-X and command-shift-V

[mila.dubas]

It still not working on Mac... =(

[Ron Shinall]

In the new editor:
Select the row, hit Command-X to cut the row, insert new row where you need it, Command-V to paste it into the new row you added.

Can't we just drag and drop like other table editors?

I would encourage adding a vote here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-25847

found a great and easy workaround:
1. copy the table
2. paste in google sheets
3. reorder
4. copy and paste back to Confluence 

[Vladislav Sozonov]

wow! The future is near! thanks anyway

[Cronje van Heerden]

I do the same with copy/paste to OneNote which has allowed for easy reordering of rows or columns since like forever .. 

It's encouraging to see that this feature is being worked on for Confluence Cloud at least [CONFCLOUD-25847] Drag & Drop to reorder table rows - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

While I love the collaboration opportunities that Confluence Cloud enable, I'm frequently surprised at how it managed to become so popular with so many limitations and essential features that either require a plugin or an upgrade to Premium.

[Michael Merrifield]

Drag and Drop would be ideal. I added my vote to CONFSERVER-25847

Meanwhile, I found it's pretty simple to do the following

• select the row (one click) or rows
• use cut (ctrl-x)
• add one row (one click on +)
• click in a cell and paste (ctrl-v) which works even for multiple rows

This even works between pages (while editing both in separate tabs).

hi, you can do this easier by installing source editor . when editing a page, and uou wish to move rows, you can click on <> and edit your table source code to move the rows by cut and pasre of certain row of table. it should be faster ;)
