Adventures with Power Apps: Moving Items Between Galleries

I was recently inspired by Power Apps Reorder Gallery Items – April Dunnam – SharePoint Siren, an “oldie but goodie” article by April Dunnam.

I decided to build my own implementation.

I wanted my version to not have a strong dependency on if there was an n-1 or n+1 item in the list, so I modified accordingly.

I used two collections, colAvailableItems and colSelectedItems and two galleries, galAvailableItems and galSelectedItems.

The items in the collection are made up of two properties: Ordinal and Name.

The galAvailableItems is sorted by name, while galSelectedItems is sorted by Ordinal.

The code for moving an item down in galSelectedItems is as follows:
