Measured entry

reui-sortable

tableminimal-flat

A client-side React primitive for reordering lists, grids, or table rows with pointer, touch, and keyboard input. It ships as shadcn registry source copied into your app and wraps dnd-kit with Radix Slot composition. It also expects the project cn helper and utility-class styling.

Verdict

A capable sortable primitive for teams already committed to dnd-kit, but it is not a standalone table and the default harness mount crashes because required controlled props are absent. It needs a shadcn-style setup and an integration wrapper before it is usable.

Use it if

  • You need controlled drag reordering for rows or cards and can supply stable item identifiers.
  • You want mouse, touch, and keyboard sensors behind one composable API.
  • You need drag handles, disabled items, or a custom overlay while keeping item rendering in your code.

Skip it if

  • You need a complete data table with columns, sorting, selection, and pagination included.
  • You want a drop-in component that renders safely without controlled values and callbacks.
  • You cannot accept the dnd-kit and Radix dependencies for a single reorder interaction.
  • You need a package that works without project aliases, a cn helper, or utility CSS conventions.

In a non-shadcn project, install the dnd-kit core, sortable, and utilities packages plus radix-ui. Add a cn class-merging helper, configure the source alias or replace that import, provide the utility classes used by the component, and render it from a client-capable React boundary with controlled item state.
