Suggestion with client area

Is it possible to make it where you can change the order of your accounts in the client area? It would be useful and it would be good for organization. Here’s a concept:

Is it possible? Probably. Is it practical? Well…

Last time I checked, doing drag and drop was not particularly easy. It requires a lot of Javascript code to do the dragging and dropping, custom AJAX code to send it to the server, and a decent amount of code to store the ordering there.

I also don’t know how well dragging and dropping works on mobile devices.

There is no custom AJAX code in the client area right now, and my association with custom AJAX code is still mostly unmaintainable jQuery soup. So I would like to avoid having such functionality, especially for a minor UX enhancement.

Is it though? I wonder what underlying need you have that makes you suggest this feature, and if there is any other way to fulfill that need.

In my perspective, the number of accounts listed there shouldn’t be too big to begin with so it shouldn’t be too hard to find your account.

Is your experience different? If so, how so? And could this be solved by just changing how the accounts are ordered, without having to have a completely hand crafted sorting?
