It would be nice to be able to use drag-and-drop to reorder holds in the staff client.

Thank you for the signoff Maryse! I did think of something I wanted to add to this, so I'm going to put it back to "assigned" and submit a follow-up. I want there to be some kind of way to indicate to the user that they have to save their changes after reordering priority.

Great idea.  As it is now, that bugs me.  Maybe a banner down at the bottom by the buttons in red text saying changes have not been saved yet?

I've been puzzling about the text.

"Your changes have not been saved yet" ?

Is that explanatory enough? I'm adding the alert for "Are you sure you want to leave, your changes have not been saved," but browsers don't let you customize the text anymore so it can't specifically mention the hold priority.

Could we add one of these warnings when you try to leave the page without saving?

I like that you kept the arrows for now. I wonder if we need the arrows for accessibility of if the priority pull down would be enough.

I'm thinking that with the pull down we could eliminate either the dropdowns or the arrows, but not both.  If you have a long list, drag and drop might be cumbersome.  At least with the arrows, we could do away with the two arrows that bump the item up or down one position, but we should keep the arrows that bump to the top or bottom of the list.

Thoughts?

Another thought...I like the idea of the action menu, but one thing that is needed is to visually see that items are pinned to the bottom.  We don't have that, from what I gather.  I'm thinking, loose the bump up and down arrows, and keep a pushpin on the end.  Have it change color when in use (unless there is a another pushpin in a another position.  That way it visually signals that it is in use.  That would leave just the bump to top and bottom in the action menu.  Personally, my thoughts are that it not THAT cumbersome to just use the dropdown for the numbers.  The scrollbar makes that pretty simple.  BUT, I'm wondering if those two options could be added to the top of the choice of numbers.  For that matter, could Suspend and Cancel be added as well?  Or maybe it is tossing to much at it?  Thoughts?
