Problem with BoM re-ordering; are others seeing this?

[DavidJ]

A user has reported that it is impossible to drag BoM lines up and down the table (with mouse) to change the order. The files sent to support behave normally (can drag rows) when tested.

Are other users seeing similar problems? If you can't drag rows in the BoM, please advise which operating system you are using?

Seems to work fine on the file that I tried.
I had no idea that you could do this, I have been manually re-numbering and re-sorting to the get the order that I want. Thanks for pointing this out it will be a major time saver.

Dragging the BOM rows works correctly for me in v2017.1.2 on Windows 10.

Just to be clear: Are they are attempting this edit in the BOM Workspace or in the Drawing Workspace?

Works for me when editing in the BOM workspace. Would like to see some indication of the row being moved though. Only see the affect after the move so it's kind of a guess if you got it right. (Hint -- SolidWorks give you a little arrow indicator of the row being moved while dragging in the drawing sheet.)

As far as the move itself, when moving UP, the move is to the line ABOVE where you stop. When moving DOWN, the move is to the line BELOW the one where you stop.
