This would allow Table Views to present their rows in the same order as List views of the same DB.

Also for a Table View sorted by Rank, it becomes reasonable to allow re-ordering the rows by dragging, as in List views.

The order in table view _is_ the same order as for list views if no other sorting is manually applied.

Yep, this is on the to-do list 🙂

I am not seeing that (at least in the entity collection views):

But I hope all of this will be obviated soon by the new Table view 😉

So the sorting _is_ by rank, but confusing as it may seem, an item can be ranked higher than it’s parent entity.

So, in your case, the ranking order is

```auto
GRAND TOTAL
WALLS
EXTERIOR
INTERIOR

```

as shown in the table view.  
But, because `WALLS` is a child of `EXTERIOR`, it is shown nested under it in the list view.

If you turned off the self-relation in the list view (or created a board view) then I would expect them to be sorted as in the table view.
