Implements feature request: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/widget-scene-pouvoir-trier-la-liste/10063

Description

Scenes in the dashboard "Scenes" widget were always displayed in alphabetical order, so the only way to change the display order was to rename the scenes.

This PR adds a Custom order option in the scene widget configuration:

  • when the option is disabled (default, and the case of all existing widgets), nothing changes: the scenes are still displayed in alphabetical order;
  • when the option is enabled, the selected scenes can be reordered with drag & drop in the widget edit mode, and the dashboard displays them in that order.

Implementation details:

  • front/src/components/drag-and-drop/SceneListWithDragAndDrop.jsx (new): reorderable list of the selected scenes, built with react-dnd following the exact same pattern as DeviceListWithDragAndDrop used by the devices widget (so it also works on touch devices).
  • front/src/components/boxs/scene/EditSceneBox.jsx: new scene_custom_order switch, the drag & drop list, and the selected options are now kept in the configured order when the custom order is enabled. When the switch is turned on, the current alphabetical order is used as the starting point of the custom order.
  • front/src/components/boxs/scene/SceneBox.jsx: the scenes returned by the API (sorted alphabetically) are re-ordered following the scenes array of the box configuration when scene_custom_order is true.
  • server/models/dashboard.js: the box configuration schema is strict, so the new scene_custom_order boolean key had to be allowed. A test covering a scene box with a custom order was added to server/test/lib/dashboard/dashboard.create.test.js.
  • Translations added in en.json, fr.json and de.json.

Checklist

  • Tests pass: cd server && npm run coverage (Codecov requires 100% coverage on changed lines) and Cypress (npm run cypress:run) if the UI changed
  • Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (npm run eslint, npm run prettier)
  • No undocumented breaking change

Checks run locally: front prettier/prettier-check, eslint, compare-translations and build all pass; server prettier/prettier-check and eslint pass, and the dashboard test suites (test/lib/dashboard and test/controllers/dashboard, 63 tests) pass. npm run coverage and Cypress were not run locally (the Cypress binary is not available in this environment), so the first checklist item is left for CI to confirm.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional custom ordering for scenes in dashboard widgets.
    • Users can enable custom ordering, initialize it from the current list, and reorder scenes via drag and drop.
    • Saved scene orders are preserved when custom ordering is enabled; alphabetical ordering remains the default.
  • Localization
    • Added custom-ordering labels and instructions in English, German, and French.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Scene selections now refresh when the scene list or custom-ordering setting changes.

Scenes in the dashboard scene widget were always displayed in
alphabetical order, forcing users to rename their scenes to change
the display order.

A new "Custom order" option is available in the widget configuration.
When enabled, the selected scenes can be reordered with drag & drop
(same pattern as the devices widget) and are displayed on the
dashboard in that order.

Widgets without this option keep the current alphabetical behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The dashboard scene widget now supports optional custom ordering. Users can enable the option, reorder selected scenes by drag and drop, save the order, and view scenes in that order. Default alphabetical ordering remains available.

Changes

Custom scene ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ordering contract and editor state
server/models/dashboard.js, server/test/lib/dashboard/dashboard.create.test.js, front/src/components/boxs/scene/EditSceneBox.jsx, front/src/config/i18n/*.json
The dashboard schema accepts scene_custom_order. The editor saves and restores scene order. English, German, and French translations describe the setting. Creation tests cover the saved flag and scene list.
Drag-and-drop scene list
front/src/components/drag-and-drop/SceneListWithDragAndDrop.jsx, front/src/components/drag-and-drop/style.css
The new list supports draggable scene rows, drop targets, drag states, and related styling.
Ordered scene rendering
front/src/components/boxs/scene/SceneBox.jsx
The scene widget follows the configured selector order when custom ordering is enabled and keeps unconfigured scenes last. Otherwise, API order remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e3c63

The new custom-order option works for pointer and touch interaction, but keyboard-only users cannot currently reorder scenes. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up to provide an accessible reordering path.

I nudge each scene into its place,
With tidy hops and rabbit grace.
The order saves, the list runs true,
Alphabetical waits when I say “no.”
Hop, drop, and render bright!

Add keyboard controls for scene reordering.

When custom order is enabled, render focusable Move up and Move down buttons for each scene with accessible names and disabled boundary states. Keep drag-and-drop for pointer input.

Not changed, on purpose.

Keyboard reordering controls would be a genuine improvement, but they are a new UI affordance rather than a fix to this PR: this list is a copy of the DeviceListWithDragAndDrop pattern the devices widget has used for years, with the same drag handle and the same lack of keyboard controls. Adding Move up / Move down buttons to the scene list only would leave the two widgets inconsistent, and doing it in both is a change of its own — with its own translation keys and styles — well beyond "let the scenes be ordered".

Worth opening as a separate accessibility issue covering both drag & drop lists.

@Pierre-Gilles, agreed. The keyboard reordering gap affects both SceneListWithDragAndDrop and DeviceListWithDragAndDrop. Changing only the new scene list would make the widget interactions inconsistent.

This PR can keep the established drag-and-drop pattern. A separate accessibility issue should cover keyboard reordering, shared interaction behavior, translations, and styles for both lists.

Would you like me to open that follow-up issue?

Learning: In Gladys dashboard widgets, `front/src/components/drag-and-drop/SceneListWithDragAndDrop.jsx` intentionally follows the established `DeviceListWithDragAndDrop` drag-and-drop interaction pattern. Keyboard reordering is an accessibility enhancement that should be designed consistently for both lists in a separate change, including any required translations and styles.

Stale comment

Looks good to merge.

This matches the forum request and stays backward compatible: existing scene widgets keep alphabetical order, and custom order is an opt-in (scene_custom_order) stored in the box config. The DND list follows DeviceListWithDragAndDrop (including getDragAndDropBackend for touch), SceneBox re-sorts the API result (which is always order_by: name) using box.scenes, and the new key is allowed on the strict dashboard Joi schema with a create test.

No new device categories/types. Not high-risk (optional dashboard box flag + front-only UX). No philosophy concern that needs a separate human review.

Non-blocking notes:

  • The new list has no row key, same as the devices widget. That works with the current useDrag factory (empty deps + index identity). Do not add a selector key without also passing [index] to useDrag, or item.index goes stale after a reorder.
  • Edit mode keeps the multi Select chips and the DND list. The devices widget uses add-only Select + DND; this is a bit redundant but it keeps add/remove familiar.
  • Keyboard move buttons and extra Dashboard.build().validate() cases are not required here — devices DND has neither, and dashboard.create already exercises the new schema key.
  • Front test/build, Cypress, and Docker are green on this SHA.

Comment thread front/src/components/drag-and-drop/SceneListWithDragAndDrop.jsx Outdated
Each SceneRow is now keyed by the scene selector instead of relying on
its position in the list. Because a keyed row keeps its component
instance across a reorder, the useDrag spec is given [index] as its
dependency array: without it react-dnd would memoize the spec of the
first render and the item() closure would report a stale index, so a
drop would move the wrong scene.

Looks good to merge.

Re-reviewed e3c637c after the follow-up that pairs key={selectedSceneOption.value} with useDrag(..., [index]). That is the correct pairing: a stable row identity without refreshing the drag spec would have left item.index stale. useDrop stays as an object spec, so it rememoizes every render and the drop target index stays current.

The feature stays backward compatible: existing widgets keep API alphabetical order until scene_custom_order is opted in. The DND list follows the devices-widget pattern (including getDragAndDropBackend for touch), SceneBox re-sorts the order_by: name API result using box.scenes, and the new key is allowed on the strict dashboard Joi schema with a create test.

No new device categories/types. Not high-risk (optional dashboard box flag + front UX). No philosophy concern that needs a separate human review.

Non-blocking notes:

  • Edit mode still keeps the multi Select chips and the DND list. The devices widget uses add-only Select + DND; this is a bit redundant but add/remove stays familiar.
  • Keyboard Move up/down and a dedicated Dashboard.build().validate() suite are still out of scope (same as the devices widget, and dashboard.create already exercises the new key).
  • Front test/build, Cypress, Docker, and server lint are green on this SHA. The current Server test failure is an unrelated DuckDB purge flake (expected 10 to equal 11 on “should purge DuckDB states…”), not this change.
