Quickly Reorder Nodes in Data Source via Keyboard

If you want to reorder nodes within a group in the Data Source pane it's rather tedious to have to select "move up/down" from the little dropdown menu. Instead there is a way to do it quickly via keyboard.



1) Open the Data Source task pane.

 

 

 

2) Hit F6 (notice the taskpane title bar turns orange)

 

 


3) Hit Tab (notice a node in the Data Source Pane is selected)

 



4) Up/Down arrow will change the node selection

 



5) Hold down CTRL and then hit up/down arrow and the node will move!

 

 


Note: This only works to reorder nodes or groups within a group. You can't move a node outside its parent.

 

Additional Tip: 

  • You can use + or - on your numpad to expand or collapse nodes.
  • By using * you can open the entire branch and all the sub-branches
