Prioritization of cards

Prioritizing cards is easy with drag-and-drop re-ordering that helps you to categorize most important work at the top.Cards can be categorized with priority by mapping specific database field into priority property.

RankId defined in the dataSource which is consist priority of cards. The RankId will be changed while card ordering changes through Drag and Drop and Editing.

The following code example describes the above behavior.

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" ng-app="KanbanApp">
    <head>
        <title>Essential Studio for AngularJS: Kanban</title>        
    </head>
    <body ng-controller="KanbanCtrl">
        <div id="Kanban" ej-kanban e-datasource="data" e-keyfield="Status" e-fields-content="Summary" e-fields-primarykey="Id" e-fields-priority="RankId">
            <div e-columns>
                <div e-column e-headertext="Backlog" e-key="Open"></div>
                <div e-column e-headertext="In Progress" e-key="InProgress"></div>
                <div e-column e-headertext="Testing" e-key="Testing"></div>
