Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/2811

Originally assigned to: @Xazin on GitHub.

Description

I accidentally clicked the "hide" button on my kanban cards' due date, removing the property entirely from all my cards (don't really get the purpose of that button). Now when trying to re-add a date, it's inserted at the bottom, as such:

There's currently no way to put that date at the top again, unless I delete and re-add every other property.

Impact

This would punish users less for not having planned their entire card structure beforehand, and allow additions that don't go to the bottom.

Additional Context

Running latest release on Windows 10.

Thanks for your feedback! Will support re-ordering properties in Kanban.
There is a workaround at the moment. Go to Settings at the top right of your Kanban --> Click Layout ---> Grid
You can reorder properties in Grid and then switch back to Kanban

I tried to reproduce your issue with "Hide" but I am not quite sure about it.

Can you please elaborate on how you think Hide should work?

Thanks for the quick response, and for informing me about the grid workaround!
Glad to hear re-ordering card properties is a planned feature 😄

And the only issue with Hide was that I hadn't seen the visibility markers in the properties menu, sorry 😅
I was unsure of what the Properties menu represented at first, which is mostly my fault, but maybe other new users could be confused by that too.

If other new users are confused by this as well, maybe the Properties menu would be slightly more intuitive if the "Properties" was renamed to "Card properties"? Or instead there could be a little title when opening that menu, like this:

It's always the product designer's fault not our users!
For the hidden properties, we plan to introduce a visual clue (see the issue here)
In addition, I agree with you that we should make it more clear by adding more hints, eg: Database properties (2 shown).

Then in the property menu, add two headers for shown and hidden properties:

Shown in {the database name}
property 1
property 2

Hidden in {the database name}
property 3

Hints like that would be perfect! The feature is pretty intuitive once you understand it, so I think a few hints like that would be enough to make new users understand more easily

For now, I've made it possible to reorder properties from the settings menu by dragging.

Until we have the block action in the card menu, this should be sufficient.

See preview in #2989

We now offer two ways of reordering card properties across 3 database view layouts: from the row detail page and from the settings menu. I consider this resolved
