Reordering multiple pages at once

Hello,

I have a report with almost 50 pages. Whenever I create a new page or duplicate an old one, it automatically goes to the very end of all pages. Dragging this page from the very end to the first or just into a different spot is really annoying. I also can't figure out how to move multiple pages at once, like the way you can highlight and move mulitple tabs in excel do in MS Excel. Is that even possible in PBI? I assume that there is a better way; something like the Slide Sorter function in Power Point would be perfect, but I haven't found it yet. Any insights are much appreciated.

Thanks!

    I feel your pain.  I have wasted many hours dragging a page from righ to left, scrolling, cant find it, have to minimise vis and fields pane, ok found it, drag it again and again and again and again.  Come on PBI dev team, this should be high on you list of UX improvements - lift your game!

    Nope, to the best of my knowledge you aren't missing any magic bullet.

      Greg_Deckler Do you have any visibility that after 4 years of this post we have any updates in terms of page navigation in PBI deskstop? It seems to have been left on the shelf for way too long.

    The hours I've spent on moving pages and reordering. So I'll just echo the message from craigsdewar again nearly a year later.
