Programmable Blueprint + Pagesdisplay -> Can't enable manual sorting

Hi, I’m following the Cookbook for automatically grouping sub pages into sections:

I’m trying to use this on my home page, which has child pages (“Werke”, Template “Werk”) that are grouped by tag. That part is working nicely.

However I can’t seem to get manual sorting to work, I really like the standard drag and drop functionality with pages sections, but for some reason the sort-icon doesn’t show up & the “change position” option in the context-menu is disabled. I do however get the “Position” Option when clicking “change status”.

My blueprints for parent and child page don’t include the “num: zero”, which typically disables manual sorting, so I’m banging my head against my screen, metaphorically speaking.

my home_blueprint.php

<?php
$content_section = [
    'content' => [
        'type' => 'fields',
        'fields' => [
            'pagetitle' => [
                'label' => 'Seitentitel (SEO)',
                'type' => 'text',
                'width' => '1/2',
                'help' => 'Google Suchergebnis-Titel. Max. 60 Zeichen empfohlen'
            ],
            'pagedesc' => [
                'label' => 'Seitenbeschreibung',

                'width' => '1/2',
                'help' => 'Google Suchergebnis-Beschreibung. Zw. 150-160 Zeichen empfohlen'

$tag_sections = [];
if ($page = page('home')) {
    // create a new section array for each unique tag plucked from the children pages
    foreach ($page->children()->pluck('tags', ',', true) as $tag) {
        $tag_sections['section_' . $tag] = [
            'type'  => 'pagesdisplay', //provided by plugin
            'label' => 'Werke ' . $tag . ' (Veröffentlicht)',
            'status' => 'listed',

            'layout' => 'cards',
            'template' => 'werk',
            'empty' => 'Keine Werke hier',

                'query' => 'page.cover',
                'cover' => 'true',
                'ratio' => '5/4'
            ],
            // note the required quotes around the `$tag` variable
            'query' => "page.children.filterBy('tags', '". $tag . "', ',')",
        ];
    };

    krsort($tag_sections);

    'title'   => 'Home',

    'options' => [
        'changeStatus' => false

Manual sorting doesn’t make sense for the pagesdisplay section and is disabled, see k3-pagesdisplay-section/PagesDisplaySection.php at 7ddc96961043ac2fa7ffa1fea951d2c85c4fa518 · rasteiner/k3-pagesdisplay-section · GitHub

Ok, so you mean it dosen’t make sense, because the sorting number is defined between all siblings, while pagesdisplay only queries a filtered selection of children, I guess?

But how would I reintroduce some manual sorting option so I can order my “Werke” of that year?
(Ideally as a drag & drop option)

Ok, so to finish this thread up, I scrapped the whole dynamic blueprint idea and just used a regular blueprint with a pages list and manually sorted everything. Not as nice, but it works.
