What is correct user expectation regarding drag and move?
I have the following note taking app - https://wenote.jstock.co
I have some question, regarding user expectation regarding drag and move.
Say, you have the following card position.
[1] [2]
[3] [4]
when you move card 1 to card 4 position
Should they become (Card 1 and card 4 are being swapped. Only position of card 1 and card 4 affected.)
[4] [2]
[3] [1]
Or, the entire cards position are being shuffled (The entire list of cards are being shifted forward, to give space to the moved card. All cards position are affected.)
[2] [3]
[4] [1]
So, I'm some how confused here. What is the correct behavior when coming to drag n move for the above case?
- Card 1 and card 4 are being swapped. Only position of card 1 and card 4 affected.
- The entire list of cards are being shifted forward, to give space to the moved card. All cards position are affected.
For me, the 1st approach has a more "Direct intuitive". But, I notice that some popular note taking app like Google Keep, Zoho Notebook are using 2nd approach.
