How to drag and sort in React Native

Question

I am fairly new to React native, and I am looking for a good way to have a sortable list. To my knowledge, I was unable to find any good examples that I could replicate (though there is one repo being worked on). Without the HTML5 drag and drop, what is the basic strategy for drag and sort with React Native? Thank you.

Answer 1

React Native Sortable List

I tested out about 5 different solutions, none of which worked very well, especially on Android, so I invested a day of programming to update the most promising, which was React Native Sortable List.

Now it works fantastic on both iOS and on Android. Here's an animation of it in action on both platforms (click the image to watch the gif).
