I'd like to move groups of cards around to different lists and retain their order. Moving one at a time seems to be the only method. I wish there was a way to select several cards to move them, and/or "group" them together.
@Doug Abel The best way to select multiple cards and move them in order to another list is just to create a list next to the list you want to select cards from, move the cards to that list then move all cards at once from the temporary list to another list, then archive the temporary list.
When you think about it, the act of "selecting multiple cards" is really no different from the active of moving cards to a list. I think the reason people don't like doing this is because they're used to other software where the creation of a list or a project or folder other type of container is an "expensive" operation, but in Trello it's so quick you can just create throwaway lists and archive them just as quickly whenever you need to.
Not understanding this. If I have a 5-act TV show, for example, and each act is a list with a dozen or so 'scenes' (cards), and I want to move scenes 4 through 8 from Act (list) 3 to act 4. using your technique I'm still moving (or archiving) cards one at a time and having to manually keep track of their order. Would be so much easier/intuitive if I could shift-click a bunch of cards and just move them as a unit to a different list on the screen.
To me this would be a basic functionality of any kind of index card simulator.
@Doug Abel what I mean is that the act of "shift clicking" to select multiple cards, then moving them to some other list, is almost identical to what you can already do by creating a separate list although arguably it's much less finicky to create a separate list, especially when selecting multiple cards from a long list or from multiple lists because it's much easier to scroll your temporary list to see what's already selected. Here's a video demonstrating what I mean, I'm sure you'll see how quick this is, I don't see why Trello would bother introducing additional interface complication to allow people to do something that's so easy to do anyway:

I decided to give Trello another chance after a few years of being too frustrated with this limitation, I see now that the Bulk Actions Power-Up does just what I needed. Fantastic.
Thanks for the tip. I second this, worked exactly like I wanted it to. Nice!
You have to pay for this core functionality, while I already pay Premium for Trello - does it make sense?
