Drag and Drop to Reorder — Pens, Rations, Load Sheets, Feed and More

Order matters in a feedlot. The sequence you feed your pens, the order rations come off the truck, the way components load into the mixer — getting it right keeps the day moving and the crew in rhythm.

Until now, fixing that order in FLS Cloud meant clicking a little up-arrow, one row at a time, over and over, until everything finally lined up. Drag and drop changes that.

Now, anywhere you see an Order column, you can grab a row and drag it exactly where it belongs. No counting clicks. No fighting the list. Just pick it up, move it, drop it.

How it works

Look for the Order column and the drag handle — the small "≡" grip icon. That handle is your grab point.

1. Grab the ≡ handle on the row you want to move. Your cursor turns into a move icon so you know it's live.
2. Drag the row up or down. A dashed outline shows you exactly where it will land.
3. Drop it in the right spot. Done.

It works the same on a desktop with a mouse and on a tablet with your finger — handy when you're out in the yard.

Everywhere you need it

We didn't add drag and drop to just one screen — we rolled it out across the places where order actually matters:

Feeding

• Add Feed, Daily Feed Sheet — drag the pens in "Pens to Feed" into your real feeding route, so the list matches the way you actually drive the yard.

Feed Call

• Ration Order — set the delivery sequence your rations come off the truck.
• Component Order — set the order components load into the mixer.

Load Sheets

• Add Load Sheet and Edit Load Sheet — drag the pens into the order you'll deliver them.
• Load Sheets in One — reorder your Load Sheets, the Components to Load, and the Pens to Feed, all from the same screen.

Setup

• Rations (Add & Edit) — drag the components into the order you want them listed and loaded.
• Protocols (Add & Edit) — drag the variations into the right sequence.

If a screen has an Order column, the handle is there waiting for you.

Your new order, saved

There are two ways your order gets saved, depending on where you are — and you don't have to think about either one.

Saved the moment you drop. On Add Feed, and for the Load Sheets and Components to Load lists in Load Sheets in One, the new order is saved instantly. Drag, drop, and it's locked in — even after you switch dates or refresh.

Saved with the screen. On Ration Order, Component Order, Load Sheet pens, Ration components, and Protocol variations, your order is applied when you hit Save or Post — right alongside the rest of your changes.

Either way, the order you set is the order you get the next time you open the screen.

Built for the way you actually work

• Faster than ever. No more clicking an arrow ten times to move a row up ten spots — drag it once and you're done.
• Obvious where to grab. The ≡ handle shows exactly where to start, so there's no guesswork.
• Works on touch. Drag with your finger on a tablet in the yard, or with a mouse at the desk.
• Your order is the real order. The sequence on screen is the sequence you feed, load, and deliver.
• Nothing else changes. The same lists, the same data — just an easier way to put them in order.

Less fiddling, more managing

Reordering used to be one of those small, nagging chores that ate up a minute here and a minute there. Now it's a single drag. Set your pens, rations, components, and load sheets in the order that fits your operation — and spend the time you save on the cattle, not the clicks.

Try it now: open any screen with an Order column, grab the ≡ handle, and drag a row into place.
