Property Order

Property Order enhances Obsidian Properties with safe list-value reordering and configurable native property-name suggestions.

Demo

Move a value between compatible list properties on desktop:

Cross-property drag is enabled by default and can be disabled in the Value drag settings.

Configure native property-name suggestion ordering:

Features

• Drag to reorder values inside a top-level YAML list property.
• Move values between supported properties in the same note, with an option to disable it.
• Preserve the current list format by default, or write affected lists as bracket or bullet lists.
• Pin, move to the bottom, or hide native property-name suggestions.
• Sort suggestions by mixed-language name or property usage count.
• Keep keyboard navigation aligned with the final visible suggestion order.
• Fail closed for unsupported YAML and fail open when Obsidian's suggestion DOM is not recognized.

Getting started

1. Enable Property Order under Settings → Community plugins.
2. Open a note with top-level YAML list properties in Obsidian Properties.
3. On desktop, drag a value directly. On mobile, long-press a value, choose Reorder (or Reorder or move), then drag that value.
4. Configure pinned, bottom, and hidden property-name rules as needed.

Limitations

• Mobile reorder is deliberately armed from Obsidian's native long-press menu, so Edit, Remove from list, and Copy remain available. The armed action applies to one value and expires automatically.
• Only top-level YAML lists rendered as Obsidian property pills are supported.
• Object lists, nested lists, multiline flow sequences, source-mode line dragging, and cross-file moves are not supported.
• Converting bullet lists to bracket lists may discard item comments and blank lines that bracket syntax cannot represent.
• Direct keyboard value reordering and screen-reader drag announcements are not currently provided.

Manual installation

Download property-order-<version>.zip from the latest release and extract it into Vault/.obsidian/plugins/. The archive already contains the property-order/ directory and its three plugin files. Reload Obsidian, then enable Property Order under Community plugins.

Development

npm install
npm run check

See the developer documentation for architecture and testing details.
