Am I missing something? Moodle Quiz Question Ordering

Am I missing something? Moodle Quiz Question Ordering

Moodle 26Stable (Weekly)

Create a Quiz Activity,  add some quiz questions of various types. 


Under "Editing Quiz"  It lists the pages (if enabled) and the questions that were added to the quiz. 

I can preview, edit, move, and set point values on the individual questions.

What is baffling me is the quiz question ordering functionality.   If I have 20 questions already assigned to a quiz, and decided to add 1 more, that becomes question 21 in the list.   If I want that question to now be the first question in the list,  I have to click the "Move Up" button repeatedly until it reaches the first item on the list.  

I guess my question is,  where is the drag and drop ordering functionality?  

On the My courses page (with block/course_overview enabled),  I can go to edit mode and on a per user basis decide what order I want "My Courses" displayed in.   In courses themselves you can drag topic blocks and even activities within that block (or into another block).

Is there something in my  theme that maybe hiding the drag option for re-ordering quiz questions before the quiz gets published?

If not, or even if so,  what is the best method of submitting feature requests or usability issues?

As Joseph pointed out there is another section "Order and Paging".

In that section you can move questions directly from one page to another by selecting the question (1) and then choosing which page you want to move it to (2).

You can also reorder using the number box (3).  If you change the number for question 1 to "25" and click "Move" it will drop down between the present Q2 and the present Q3, in effect swopping places with the present Q2.

With a bit of thought you can reorder a lot of question at the same time using the number boxes.

Good Luck!
