Can't reorder swatches?

Community Beginner ,
Aug 08, 2025 Aug 08, 2025

HI all. I'm having an issue where I can't reorder the color swatches in the palette. If I drag a new green that I've added to be down with the other greens, it either stays where it was, or reorders everything. If I quit Illustrator and fire it back up, I can edit the palette. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

 

Ai 29.4 (to avoid the font mixups), MBP M3 Max running OS 15.6.

Hello @dunazee,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I tried replicating this behavior on my end in Illustrator 29.4, but could not. Could you check if Illustrator behaves this way with all files? Also, kindly share a small screen recording of the problem, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

HA! I tried doing a screen recording and it worked correctly. I put another post asking about settings... I think it's something in my settings or palette prefs or something. Definitely operator error.

I would, but it stopped doing it. I am having a different issue, with the swatch palette and will start a new thread about it. Thank you!
