Move card up/down broken

First, thanks for implementing the move card up/down shortcuts. Dragging cards to reprioritize in a list can be a pain.

I am using Mac 10.12.6 and Chrome Version 60.0.3112.101.

I mapped CONTROL-J to move card down and CONTROL-K to move card up. It works.

But, it doesn't persist the location of the card in the list if refresh my browser. To reproduce:

• I use my arrow keys to go to the top card in a list (so it is highlighted)
• I use CONTROL-J to move the card down one, so the card is now the second from the top
• I hit reload on the browser
• The card that I move down one is back up to the top.

I've attached a Quicktime video (zipped).

Thanks.
Kevin

Hey @kevintaylor - Thanks for the detailed bug report. I've just taken a look and from what I can see, Trello has changed their behaviour to track the position of cards differently.

We are still using the old method of moving cards around but now whenever a card is moved they seem to be sending a very large number to the server to track the position. I don't know how they get this number but we might be able to figure it out.

This is actually a persistent problem with the way the extenstion works. They can change anything at anytime and our stuff breaks. Sadly we're seeing it more and more frequently.

Ok, thanks for the update. I wish I could help but am not a JS programmer. :-(

I'm seeing this issue too. Is there a new method to move the cards now?

hey @tosinalawale
Thanks for taking the time to report / confirm the issue.

Unfortunately sometime after Trello got purchased by Atlassian they broke the way we were interacting the cards.

From memory, when I looked at this issue originally, there was no way to tell order of cards or change the order from the DOM elements. Move up/down and Move top/bottom seem to need some persistence call now and I assume they want you to use their API (https://developers.trello.com/)

I'm not really keen to maintain an integration this hacky with their API.
