Thanks Erick – 
I used the MOVEREPLICA command to shuffle them around, but like you mentioned, 
I had to look up nodes names and such.
I’m on the same page; drag-n-drop replica organization.

I was looking at the newest section in the admin-ui  “Cloud > Nodes”
Maybe we could add the drag-n-drop functionality to that last column, where the 
replicas are listed by node. I think we have all the data required in that view 
to construct a MOVEREPLICA command.

Thoughts?

    What about the MOVEREPLICA command?

    Although that still requires you to know things like node names and
    replica names. It'd be waaaaay cool to have
    some kind of drag-n-drop or wizard-driven capability, perhaps built on
    top of that. In addition to Jan's
    suggestions.
    
    Best,
    Erick

 which seems related in that it aims to expose collection api through UI
