Currently it supports sorting by columns, so if you click any column, any manual items positions will be lost.
It should be, yes.

Yes, but there were some problems with it and it's disabled temporarily. The list will be reworked in the future to provide better experience and manual dragging feature will also be restored.
Under certain circumstances it could have lead to ads being duplicated or removed, so we've disabled the feature for now. The core problem is that the code base in this place is old and we'd need to rewrite it. The new Ads Scheduler allows to use Profiles which a lot of people find useful, and adding such a feature (and also fixing a number of bugs) wouldn't be possible if we keep things as they are.

Thanks - we had cleared ours until the issue was fixed, so I'll set the groups up again.
Suggestion - with new right click menu option, create choice of creating a new group, and change the blank label to say something like 'remove from existing group' so the functionality is more clear
Also the right click groups should sort in alphabetical order (currently sorts in order of group creation)

Thank you for the suggestion, noted for the future versions.
Can you please elaborate?
Each Ad could have multiple audio files assigned, so those commands won't work for the Ad itself. You can see those commands available in the Ad properties window for each individual audio file.

Makes sense to add it in Ad Properties. These commands are not there yet (if you mean right-click menu), there is only Prelisten and Open in folder.
We'll consider adding new commands for ad tracks, thank you for the suggestion.

Hello again djsoft. I am testing this version, I am also testing the version you sent me compatible with windows xp (RadioBOSS 5.9.4).
How to order commercials in Ads Scheduler when there are more than 12 commercials in a single schedule?
Example:
09:00
01 - Advertising 1.
02 - Advertising 2.
03 - Advertising 3.
04 - Advertising 4.
05 - Advertising 5.
06 - Advertising 6.
07 - Advertising 7.
08 - Advertising 8.
09 - Advertising 9.
10 - Advertising 10.
11 - Advertising 11.
12 - Advertising 12.
priority allows me to order only from 1 to 9.
How can I add 12 or more commercials in a schedule?
Attentive to the answer.

I understand, as for the order, I suggest moving the ads in the position you want, from the window that appears on the right. where the duration of the advertising block appears. (image 1)
In ADS add option to remove multiple ads at the same time and also allow to insert Time, Temperature, Playlist. (image 2)
The idea is that there are no limitations in Ads Scheduler to be able to insert what one needs to broadcast.
greetings djsoft, success.

The ads in this window are generated based on the configuration - what ads are assigned for what days and their priorities. It does not allow editing of the blocks because of this, with any custom adjustments it'd be hard to automate all this when the ads are removed/expired/new ads added etc.
Yes, I understand. But when it's automated, fixed positions will not really work.
You can manually edit the playlist files, after the ads are generated to rearrange the blocks as you need.

Then it would only be necessary to expand the number of priorities if they are currently 1-9, do it from 1 to where it is necessary to order.
example: 1-100
I do not understand what you want to say.
Ads Scheduler:
no "priority" limits, if I want to schedule 50 announcements at 10:00, I can add them and order them according to my needs.
without limits in the files that we want to "add" example: Time, Temperature, Playlist, Etc.
I mean those limitations.
Yes, this is what we intend to do.
Those items (temperature etc) are not a good fit for the advert scheduler. Why would ads scheduler need to run temperature announcements?
You can try using Intro and Outro blocks in the ads scheduler for this, but I'm not sure it will work. The best solution would be to use separate events for the announcements.

Great, I hope it's soon.
because many want to add at least the "hour". It would be a big draw for the next version.
for radios it would be of great help.
indicate the time, normally it is always in an advertising block.
Example:
09:00
1 - The Radio tells you the time.
2 - hour.(it's 9:00 in the morning.)
3 - Advertising 1.
4 - Advertising 2.
Understood, thank you very much.
Why not create two separate events for that? E.g. at 09:00 run the time announcement, and schedule ads block to start at 09:00:02 with "queue" option to make it play right after the announcement ends.
