I am wondering - what is the easiest way to re-order the line items on a NetSuite Sales Order (one that is still pending approval)? I can't seem to find a drag and drop capability. Do I really have to delete all my lines and start fresh by entering them in the order I want them to appear as?

This is something we were wanting too. We were told it couldn't be done. We ended up having to format the Advanced PDF to do the sorting that we wanted.

@Manda that is really sad 😞 It seems discounts need to be entered right below the item that is being discounted, so I would think an re-ordering at Advanced PDF wouldn't solve for that. Our Sales Order are coming in through API, and since order does seem to matter for discounts, it looks like an integration is now pretty much useless without ease of being able to re-order items on a sales order

How are you handing discounts? I was playing with the promotions function awhile back and that puts it right under the discounted item. Otherwise, we are also doing something similar where a script adds the "discount" line under the relevant item on the invoice it then populates a custom line field on both the "discount" line and the item line with a key code of sorts to identify that they go together, then on the Advanced PDF for printout we have that "discount" line as an actual column (space saving) and that key is used to define what "discount" line amount goes in that column. Does that make sense?
Oooh, or just spitballing...you can make a custom line field for something like "custom sequence" that you populate with the order in which you want it to print then sort off of that in your PDF. That might be more manual labor though if it's a large number of orders that need done.
