Because it is necessary to recreate an entire table in order to move a given row to a new spot, I would like an "move row" function, for example:

Before:

Apples
Bananas
Oranges

After:

Oranges
Apples
Oranges

I realize Table Manager's sorting feature sort of addresses one aspect of this, but I would like to be able to move stuff around in a seemingly arbitrary fashion.

Nope not going to do anything about this in this version, the new version (admittedly in 6.x) uses drag and drop to reorganise unsorted tables. Works nice too, probably won't put out another 5.x unless I'm really persuaded otherwise... Tablemanager V2 is a long way off a release date, sorry.

BTW... When someone asked me about this before I got them to make a new column called 'weight' and made a new data type which allowed the crude filter for data types to ignore it but allowed it to be sorted on. It's somewhere in this issue queue I believe...
