streamlit-sortables
A Streamlit component to provide sortable list.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need drag-and-drop list sorting in a Streamlit app and can accept infrequent updates. The package is low-friction to install, has no security vulnerabilities, and the permissive Apache 2.0 license poses no restrictions. The dormant maintenance status means you should not expect rapid bug fixes, but the recent repository activity suggests it is not abandoned. Best suited for projects where sorting is a secondary feature rather than mission-critical functionality.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later and a working Streamlit application to run.
- Installation is straightforward with no compiled dependencies.
- The package is dormant (last release 578 days ago) but the repository remains active with a recent commit on 2025-01-21, suggesting maintenance is infrequent rather than abandoned.

What it is and what it does
Streamlit Sortables is a Streamlit component that renders interactive, drag-and-drop sortable lists in your web app. Users can reorder items by dragging them, and the component returns the new order back to your Python code. It supports single lists of strings, multiple containers with separate sort spaces, and custom CSS styling to match your app's design.
The package wraps a frontend component (built with standard web technologies) and exposes a simple Python API through the `sort_items()` function. It depends only on Streamlit itself, making installation frictionless. The component is in Alpha status and development is infrequent, but the repository remains accessible and the latest release is recent.
Use it for
- Build task-management interfaces where users drag tasks between priority buckets or status columns.
- Create quiz or survey builders where respondents reorder options to express preferences or rank items.
- Design workflow dashboards where users organize pipeline stages, queues, or process steps by dragging.
- Build data-entry forms that let users sort a list of items before submission or processing.
- Create interactive tutorials or educational apps where students arrange concepts, steps, or answers in order.
