Let your team put records in the right order (carousel slides, menu items, ranked lists) straight from your resource [Index view](https://docs.avohq.io/4.0/views.html#Index). Set `self.ordering` on a resource and Avo adds move higher, move lower, move to top, and move to bottom controls, with optional drag-and-drop, all backed by a position column you already have.

Each action is a lambda you wire to your own model, so it works with `acts_as_list` methods like `move_higher` and `insert_at`, or any positioning logic you write. Choose where the controls show up with `visible_on`, keep them inline or tucked in a popover, and gate the whole thing behind a `reorder?` policy. That's reordering UI your agent configures in a few lines, on a foundation that keeps improving with Avo.

## What you get

- Move higher, move lower, move to top, and move to bottom controls on the index
- Drag-and-drop reordering with `drag_and_drop: true` and an `insert_at` action
- Per-action lambdas that call your model, designed to pair with `acts_as_list`
- Controls on the index, in associations, or both via `visible_on`
- Inline buttons or a popover, switched with `display_inline`
- Custom position attribute through a `position` lambda (defaults to `record.position`)
- Safe by default: gate who can reorder with a `reorder?` policy method

## Why it pays off

- Add a position column, set `self.ordering`, and ship reordering this afternoon. The buttons, drag-and-drop, and controller wiring are otherwise a sprint.
- Every Avo release makes it better: drag-and-drop and its position updates, the kind of UI that breaks quietly, keep working through upgrades, and fixes reach your app with bundle update.
- It hooks into `acts_as_list` and your own position logic, so you keep your data model and your agent skips generating a one-off reordering tool in every app.
