During the dragging, we see a little floating box that just says &#8220;7 items&#8221; for example, which moves with the mouse until dropped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dropping anywhere moves all the previously selected items to the new spot in the order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See Spotify or Outlook for Web for example, for how other interfaces handle selecting and dragging multiple items.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the plugin developer is reading this: is this something you could add? Moving a lot of posts one by one is a pain.
