I see from the styles that ember has decided to not display an icon for table drag until an item is hovered upon.
I find it quite useful having an icon because it lets the user know visually that the list is reorderable.

What are the thoughts behind this?

Thanks

I am open to that change, but I think we should use the gripper icon which is becoming more common for table drag.

See designs for panels IPE for an example. https://drupal.org/node/2224583

+1 for using gripper on tabledrags. It is confusing to hunt for the rollover now.

The gripper works great for the tabledrags.

I still have a concern with the image that only appears on hover it would make more sense to me if this always displayed so the user has some sort on contextual information.

This issue discusses this more: #2186343: Ember theme issues with views (rearrange fields move icon missing)

@sylus

I'm cool with that. Can you roll a patch and I'll commit it?
