Independently order cards within columns

[Jessica McDougall]

For product discovery board view - I would like to be able to order the cards independently in each column. Right now, if I have a card that is in multiple columns, if I move a card up or down in a column, it is also moved in the other columns. Is this possible? 

For context - I have a board view set up to track our "next to close" sales pipeline. Columns are set to key-customers. within each column, the cards (features required for launch) are displayed as they are linked to the respective key-customers. some of these features are required, nice-to-have, or post-launch so I want to be able to drag around the priority of each of these cards within each column independently.

Hi @Jessica McDougall , not exactly as you describe it, but it's possible to create separate views and manually reorder these ideas differently in these views (in the sort menu > more options > switch to view rank). Basically you could have one view per customer, each with their own order, but not one order per customer in the same view.

ah bummer - thanks @Tanguy Crusson! Possible to support that in the future?

@Jessica McDougall based on how this was built (there's one rank for a set of ideas, not multiple ranks for the same idea in the same context), that is unlikely. It would be a pretty big lift, so we'd need a lot of feedback to back it up. It is a totally valid use case and I completely see where you're coming from, but it's also the first time someone asks this so far (that I'm aware of). We'll keep watching this, and I'll let you know if I can think of another way to do this.
