Hi Manu, Yes, its better if we can have the drag & drop sorting in the same view (Pages View). But since we have very narrow pane there, its difficult to show the hierarchical items with the indent. It will cause issues when we have more than 2 levels. So that's why we decided to move it to a separate view. And also there are other issues like, page items already have click events (e.g. expand/collapse).
So if we move it to a separate view, users can actually see how the menu order will look like with the menu items which will only visible in dashboard. As user will have full control over the menu items re-ordering/adding/deleting. And further we can also extend this to have custom menu items if we needed so (Not needed at the moment). Cheers!
