Hi,
I know it wasn't possible. Just in case I will clarify -- in regard to the top level in the grid -- is it possible to move items up & down or sort them and then save that order? When I do that and than refresh they will come back to the original positions. The only way around it that I know is to create a new parent for all those, but then I have one line om my grid taken and my grid shorter. Not a big deal I guess, but is it planned to be changed?
Thanks

I'm bumping this - I dont have the answers myself but
 
1) AFAIK this is planned but not till 0.9.27
2) there was a workaround, using a number field - hopefully someone that has used it will chime in with more details - but it might be easier to continue with one main parent for the grid

1. Create a number field (name it Order).
2. Re-arrange your TLIs in the order you want.
3. Select the Order column.
4. Right click and select re-number. You can accept the default.
 
There is another step which will allow the field to self populate as you add TLIs, but I am writing this from memory and forget what that step is. To maintain the order, set your grid to sort on the Order field.
