Yes, my org is just starting to use Clickup and this would be incredibly useful as we test drive what projects need a list, what needs a folder, etc - Want to be able to try both and keep them in our own order.

+1 for this. I've resorted to creating folders for higher priority lists just so I can sort them higher up, even though they are a single list folder

I don't understand why simple things like this aren't a standard feature.

While there is no ability to create automations across multiple lists/folders/spaces we have been consolidating lists wherever possible so as to reduce the pain of creating automations. In particular, we've been creating Staging lists that tasks come into before we put them through the various automations. We used to put them in a folder, just so we can order them, but it has become an ease-of-use issue for users who don't really understand why you would have a folder with a single list. But now, these lists which we want at the top sit at the bottom. This is surely a really simple fix, and quick win task. It's not quite of the level of the famous Wrike inability to manually change hierarchy but its a dumb and needless annoyance...

I have a to do list that I would like to sit at the top.

I second this. Some lists don’t need to be in a folder, and I’d prefer them to be at the top!
