I would like to work on this bug, could someone please assign it to me?

@Dorgu: Unfortunately this still requires some extensive discussion about how to actually do it because it is quite tricky. If this is your first Wikidata bug I think it would be much better for you if you chose another one. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=need-volunteer%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&emailcc1=1&resolution=---&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&query_format=advanced&email1=wikidata-bugs%40lists.wikimedia.org&list_id=162515 has a lot of better ones.

That being said you're of course welcome to just start hacking on this but please be aware that this is a very hard one.

Lydia: As this ticket is "highest priority", has this discussion taken place in the meantime? If not, what is the rough timeframe and who can be expected to lead this discussion?

No, we have postponed this to be part of the UI redesign.

If it's postponed, could you set a lower priority here?

I just came across this issue when editing Wikidata and it's *ugly* and confusing!

at least we could say the "order of statements changed", without waiting for UI redesign.

For whenever we implement more for the diff...

I also expect to see in the "before" side of diff view:

• statement above the one I moved (prior to reordering), maybe in collapsed / summary format "main snak property / value"
• statement that i moved
• statement following the one I moved (prior to reordering)

In "after" side of diff:

• statement above the one I moved (after reordering), maybe in collapsed / summary format "main snak property / value"
• statement that i moved
• statement following the one I moved (after reordering)

Normally I think people would reorder just one statement, but if they reorder more than one then show multiple sets of what I describe above.

• Bug 64585 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Can the diff at least say "There are sorting changes which are not displayed" as an interim solution?

Check the current state of this for:

• statements
• refernces
• qualifiers
