  • Problem: Wikidata statements for the same property are shown in the order they are added to Wikidata. In many cases, there's a natural order that can derivate from the order in which the statements were added.

    A user that wants to fix the order has to delete and recreate the statement which is undesirable. While external data users can configure their scripts to use a property like "point in time" to order the statements, users within Wikidata have no way to order them.

  • Proposed solution: Add a feature that exchanges the position of two statements which use the same property within an item.
  • Who would benefit: All users who access items that are currently unordered directly within the Wikidata UI.
