Just needed to move an item from near the top to the bottom of a list with over 500 items. Couldn't figure out an easy way to do it so I'm hoping to learn something new.
1) Dragging is great over short distances but not a long list. You can't can't drag to the bottom of the screen and continue scrolling down. You have to release the item, manually scroll down, re-select the item, and repeat.
2) Keyboard alt-down arrow takes a long time.
3) There are more convoluted methods better avoided because of the extra steps (eg assigning sort numbers to a text field).
4) Mark item; assign as subitem at bottom of list; return to original location; delete item there; return to new location and promote item to TLI.
I usually use #4 but it takes too much back and forth to opposite ends of the list. I know there was discussion of a new "mark" command that would let you move an item in one step. That would be the ideal solution, I think. If it's "on the list", then never mind.
Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

Open a second copy of the grid. Scroll to bottom. Drag/move item?

Yeah, I use dual panes when I know I'm going to be doing a lot of moving. Obviously, it's a few extra steps if you're just trying to quickly move one item.

Hey guys, just pointing to a complementary thread on the topic:
Add move item commands: "Cut (Ctrl+X) on selected items then Paste" + "Move as Sub-items" on the context menu for marked items | InfoQube IM - Community
Hey Pierre, please consider improving functionalities for moving items around 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you,

Something much easier to do, which will be in the next version, is Alt+PgUp/PgDn to move items faster in the grid
