It is very tedious to re-sort pages in a .pbix file, particularly if you have say 20 pages and the new page you've just created is page 20 and you want it to be page 2 or 3 - you have to drag it to the left hand end, move across a pane, drag it to the new end, and so on.
It would be nice to have a thumbnail view of the pages on a single screen, a little like the slide sorter view in PowerPoint, to reorder the pages.

RE: better interface for sorting pages
Wow, it’s 2024 and we’re still dragging pages around in Power BI like it’s 2017 – despite all the AI advancements. Who needs an efficient sorter interface when we can reminisce about the good old days, right? Come on, Microsoft, give us a break!
RE: better interface for sorting pages
Its really incredible that after 6 years we still dont have an effective way of doing this. what a nightmare.
RE: better interface for sorting pages
Not only to move.Just copy excel functionality for sheet manipulation:MoveCopyMove / copy to other pbixHighlight with colorsMultiple sheet manipulation: move, copy, deleteMenus / lists for manipulationAnd why not add some other features:Thumnails / previews like in Power PointProtect full sheet to prevent unwanted edition of some partsGroups of sheets like One Note pages
RE: better interface for sorting pages
Agree entirely. This is a real headache. It should be simple, like moving the sheets in excel would be my preference - using the arrow keys and alt/ctrl.
RE: better interface for sorting pages
FYI: Power BI's competitor (Tableau) has had a page sorting view for quite some time if they need inspiration...
RE: better interface for sorting pages
We have a deck with 100+ pages and it is impossible to navigate or move things around in. Something similar to slide sorter in PowerPoint would be very nice.Or a way to order the "tabs" (pages), which is what I originally thought "Tab Order" was.
RE: better interface for sorting pages
It would be nice already (and maybe a quick fix?), if we could reorder the pages in the list you see when right clicking the double arrows on the bottom left arrows.
RE: better interface for sorting pages
When this feature will be implemented? My report already contains >40 pages, the navigation through and rearranging pages are more and more inconvenient.
RE: better interface for sorting pages
The nr of pages are growing in my reports... it's getting more difficult to easily arrange pages. Certainly because new pages are added always at the end and then you need to move them to the beginning in 5-6 moves. Would be nice to see 1 screen with all the page titles where you can easily drag an drop to another place.
Also nice would be that when creating a new page that this would be after the page that is currently selected
RE: better interface for sorting pages
Linked to this would be nice to have a 'go to' option ...right clicking on the pages and then be able to select a specific page to jump to
