Hi,

I think this is feature is needed. Just one question: should this work/be similar to the current one in workout screen?

[hmwazir]

For the current workout way, I have noticed that it is a little slower because it requires selecting the reorder option each time for every exercise, however the way the exercises "compress" when reordering is cool.

I think it would be faster / better, for both routines and exercises, if it was drag-and-drop, for routines, it would work by tapping / dragging anywhere on the routine, and for exercises, it would work by tapping / dragging anywhere in the "name" area (tapping and holding would still compress the exercise). Another option is a "Reorder" option at the top right that is for all routines and exercises, instead of individual option for individual exercises.

Otherwise, the current style is also acceptable.

In the original PR for reorderable exercises (#25) there was a drag handle so users could reorder directly without extra taps. However, the handle was a bit messy (and dragging from anywhere also had issues), so it was replaced with the current solution.

Putting the reorder control at the top right is a workable alternative. I placed it where it is now so users can reliably find actions related to a card within that card — which felt more intuitive.

For the current method, the user has to tap on the reorder option as many times as the user wants to reorder, which gets annoying if there are 10 exercises. I was thinking of a method of entering into reordering mode, doing the reorder for all exercises and then exiting reordering mode.

Anyways, the reordering method should be consistent for both exercises and routines.

It was implemented this way to speed up reordering (without confirmation), but as you noticed, it only considered the case of 1 or 2 moves. Still, I’m not entirely convinced that a "reordering mode" would be better than the current implementation: it would require a confirmation button (like "Done") at the top which can work in workout screen but not in home screen (because the latter shares the top bar with the other screen while the former does not). If you want, you can open a new issue for the reordering mode in workout screen.
