Hi,

First of all, I want to say thank you! After trying many modules (Matrix, CCK_table, attribute, flexifield, advanced text), I've finally landed on this module and it seems to work pretty okey.

Basically, I trying to create a simple interface for end users to input their own data in a clean and presentable table without going into the dodgy terrain of inserting a table through a wysiwyg. CCK_table is way beyond their heads.

But the immediate problem that I ran into while using TableField is that I wanted to insert a new row in the middle of the table, and for that I had to copy/paste each of the cells, so as to open up space for a new entry in the the middle of the table. To ask the end-users to go again and again through such copy-pasting each time that they want to insert a new data, would be a pain. So why not have a simple functionality of draggable rows??? I mean everything else in Drupal 6x is draggable up-and-down (menus, blocks, CCK fields, draggable views etc etc) -- so why not have draggable rows in TableField?

This would be a really user-friendly addition!

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the requests. That's definitely something that's been on my radar. I did a proof of concept with the d7 version a few months back. It required some major architectural changes, and it was fragile at best.

I'm trying to find a good balance between features and simplicity. I don't want it to become a difficult-to-maintain spreadsheet app. However, draggable rows would be super handy, so I'll keep that in the backlog and see what time allows.
