+# UX: Implement drag-and-drop for portfolio reordering #145
+
+## Summary
+✅ **Fully Implemented**: Users can now reorder their portfolio holdings by dragging and dropping property cards with smooth animations, persistent storage, and keyboard accessibility.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### ✅ Core Features Implemented
+- **Drag Handle**: Added intuitive drag handles on portfolio cards for easy reordering
+- **Smooth Animations**: Implemented fluid drag animations using Framer Motion
+- **localStorage Persistence**: Portfolio order is automatically saved and restored across sessions
+- **Keyboard Accessibility**: Full keyboard navigation support with arrow keys for reordering
+- **Reset to Default**: One-click reset option to restore original property order
+
+### ✅ Technical Implementation
+- **Component**: `DraggablePropertiesList.tsx` - Main drag-and-drop implementation
+- **Integration**: `PropertiesList.tsx` - Wrapper component
+- **Testing**: Comprehensive unit tests in `DraggablePropertiesList.test.tsx`
+- **UI**: Enhanced `PropertyCard.tsx` with test attributes for proper testing
+
+### ✅ Key Features
+1. **Visual Feedback**: 
+   - Drag handle appears on hover
+   - Scale animations during drag operations
+   - Smooth transitions and micro-interactions
+
+2. **Data Persistence**:
+   - Order saved to `localStorage` as `portfolioOrder`
+   - Automatic restoration on page load
+   - Graceful fallback to default order
+
+3. **Accessibility**:
+   - Full keyboard navigation (Arrow Up/Down keys)
+   - Proper ARIA labels and roles
+   - Focus management and visual indicators
+
+4. **User Experience**:
+   - Intuitive drag handles with clear visual cues
+   - Reset button to restore default ordering
+   - Responsive design for all screen sizes
+
+### ✅ Files Modified/Added
+- `src/components/dashboard/DraggablePropertiesList.tsx` - Core implementation
+- `src/components/dashboard/PropertiesList.tsx` - Integration wrapper
+- `src/components/dashboard/PropertyCard.tsx` - Added test-id attribute
+- `src/components/dashboard/__tests__/DraggablePropertiesList.test.tsx` - Comprehensive tests
+- `src/app/dashboard/page.tsx` - Integration in main dashboard
+
+### ✅ Testing Coverage
+- ✅ Unit tests for drag-and-drop functionality
+- ✅ localStorage persistence testing
+- ✅ Reset functionality testing
+- ✅ Component rendering tests
+- ✅ Keyboard navigation tests
+
+### ✅ Browser Compatibility
+- ✅ Modern browsers with full drag-and-drop API support
+- ✅ Fallback interactions for older browsers
+- ✅ Touch device support
+
+## Usage Instructions
