Reorder Metric Dashboards

Feature requestsMetrics

Please add the ability to reorder metric dashboards via drag-and-drop or a simple ordering control.

Description

Currently, dashboards appear in a fixed order with no way to rearrange them. To achieve a preferred viewing order, I had to duplicate dashboards and then delete the originals purely to force a new sequence. While this technically works, it is inefficient, unintuitive, and creates unnecessary friction.

Why This Matters

  • Dashboard order is part of workflow optimization, not just aesthetics

  • Users often want high-priority or frequently reviewed metrics first

  • The current workaround increases clicks, time spent, and cognitive load

  • Reordering is a standard expectation in modern analytics and admin tools

Suggested Solution

  • Drag-and-drop reordering in the dashboard list

  • Alternatively, an “Edit Order” mode with up/down controls

  • Order should persist per user

Impact

This would significantly improve usability for power users, reduce frustration, and eliminate a workaround that feels unnecessary for an otherwise well-designed product.

    Hi @Matt And Mary Santala, an option for this already exists, but it’s a bit hidden, and I see that the help article did not mention that we support this either. I’ve updated the article, and here are the instructions:

    1. Click the three-dot menu to the right of the Save button.

    2. Select Reorder widgets.

    3. The dashboard will enter edit mode:

      • Widgets will display a dashed outline.

      • Arrow buttons will appear beneath each widget.

    4. Use the arrows to move widgets into your desired order.

    5. When you’re satisfied, click Save order to apply the changes.

    Keep in mind that reordering widgets affects all users who have access to the dashboard. Just like adding a new widget, the updated order will be visible to everyone.

    Hope this helps!

      Thank you. I was able to find the ability to move around the widgets on a dashboard. What I am requesting is the ability to reorder the dashboards on the left side of the screen under the heading metrics. It should be a relatively small amount of code to add that functionality. For instance, in the image below, let’s say I wanted my Quality Metrics for last year and the current year to move above revenue. Yes, very ODC, but I like the metrics organized to find them easily. Right now, you can only “Create Dashboard.” You cannot reorder them.

      Thank you for your consideration.

        Ah sorry, I misread. That’s a great suggestion, we will definitely put it in the list of improvements for metrics!
