You can use CTRL-S to change the sort order. From the CTRL-S menu, choose a field to sort by to add it to the list. When it's in the list, you can select it to reverse the sort.

Usually I want to do something more granular than just changing the sort order. if I add a new entry at the bottom and later decide I visit the site a lot, I then want to move that individual entry up near the top.

Yeah, me too, which is why my primary sort is "Total Calls (reversed)". It sounds like I don't understand what you're asking... can you expand a bit more?

If I wanted to manually move an entry at the bottom of the list to be second on the list for example. I know I have sorting options, but I don't have any way to move entries manually up or down in the list...

So basically a new editable field that is only used for sorting? Would that match your expectations?
Essentially, a place you could enter an arbitrary number, and that number would be available as a sort key.
The entries don't really have any meaningful inherent order, so the only way to have an order is to sort the list once it's assembled. I'm a bit confused about the concept of "moving" an entry.

This certainly isn't something that important. But i'm the type of person that like to organize. Several times while adding a new BBS entry in the list it went above or below where I thought it was going to go, so now the list is out of order for my liking. And your comment about them having no inherent order seems to make sense. But if what to order them the way I want them ordered I can't do that. If I have a list of 10 BBSs but I want BBS #8 to be at the top of the list I have no way of moving it from spot 8 in the list to spot 1.

I am totally missing something here so I apologize... But I can go to the CTRL-S menu and I can add Explicit sort order. But how do I get that sort order to do anything? I hit enter and it just toggles between reverse and normal, but nothing in my list gets sorted? What key do I press to actually do the sorting?

I'm a so sorry for not understanding... So I can do CTRL-S and add "Explicit Sort Order" that part I have figured out. But how to I enable that sorting? Nothing in my list seems to change after setting that?

The position in the sort order list is important... orders closer to the top of that list take precedence, so you likely want to sort by Explicit Sort Order first. You can add it to the beginning by pressing insert at the top of the list.
Sorting is always enabled.

Ok, so I monkied around with it some more, I took the other 2 default entries I had in the Sort box out and then I can see that if I keep hitting CTRL-S on an item it moves up 1 entry at a time.
That certainly works for me....

I've added the thing I described. :D
Use CTRL-S when editing an entry and you can enter a positive or negative integer there, and add "Explicit Sort Order" to your sort criteria.

From the listing, use CTRL-S and add "Explicit Sort Order" (the last item in the list) as a sort term.
