It's not only in XY Chart. > [@Perspective: How can I reorder array elements \*\*and maintain bindings\*\*?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-how-can-i-reorder-array-elements-and-maintain-bindings/40011/12): > > You can re-order by dragging array elements. As @jlandwerlen suggested, you need to click-hold to the right of the element you’d like to re-arrange. This will NOT bring the binding along. You can’t supply a binding base don arbitrary relative positions to change if the position changes. When you set up a binding within an array, it’s defined in the schema as custom.my\_array[x].some\_key. dragging the element to a different position results in the binding pointing to the original position because… > [@\[BUG\] Bindings on props within array items don't stay with their associated array item if moved to a new array index](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-bindings-on-props-within-array-items-dont-stay-with-their-associated-array-item-if-moved-to-a-new-array-index/35578/7): > > There’s another thread on this topic somewhere. Not handy, sorry. Bottom line: it is expected and fundamental behavior of bindings where an array is involved. The binding targets a specific subscript in the array. Move elements around and the binding is now pointing at the “wrong” element. Don’t expect a fix any time soon, if ever. Also some topics I found: > [@\[FEATURE\] Perspective: Allow reordering of property array elements and maintain bindings](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-perspective-allow-reordering-of-property-array-elements-and-maintain-bindings/40012): > > Currently you can rearrange array elements, however bindings aren’t kept intact - they stay with the array index and not with the element you’re moving. > [@\[BUG\] Bindings on props within array items don't stay with their associated array item if moved to a new array index](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-bindings-on-props-within-array-items-dont-stay-with-their-associated-array-item-if-moved-to-a-new-array-index/35578): > > Hello, I’m encountering a bug and didn’t know where to report it. It’s easy enough to work around, so I didn’t bother submitting a support ticket. I have some parameters I’m passing to an embedded view (using perspective). These parameters include an array of objects: One of these objects (object 4) has a binding on one of its values (position). If I duplicate an object above object 4, Ignition appropriately increments the number of the objects below where the duplicated object is, … > [@Perspective: How can I reorder array elements \*\*and maintain bindings\*\*?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-how-can-i-reorder-array-elements-and-maintain-bindings/40011): > > v8.1.0rc1 Is there any way to rearrange property array elements and still keep the bindings intact within each array element’s objects?
