Drag and Drop Priority List
The current podcast priority settings are difficult to update. As I add more podcast subscriptions, the current priority buckets either become more crowded (making them less effective), or I have to create a new priority bucket and then manually update numbers on all of the other podcasts. This is time consuming and has sometimes prevented me from wanting to add more subscriptions.
Drag and drop for each episode would make this much easier to update. You could still drop multiple episodes into one priority bucket just like it is now. A single tap could still function the same (type in the priority number), but maybe you could add a long press to activate the dragging capability, as is familiar in other apps.
Looks like this has been discussed before, but the update/feature doesn't appear to be in the current version of the app: (https://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/forums/211997-general/suggestions/5578024-global-drag-and-drop-priority-list#comments)

Very useful, especially with no way to sort by favorites (high priority) and publication

This would be super helpful.

Definitely this would help. I got frustrated at the difficulty in re-ordering priorities, so I ended up creating a Dewey-decimal-ish scheme for the podcasts, e.g. high priority favorites >1000, news & dailies in the 900s, shows to keep up on for discussing with friends in the 800s, and so on down. :D Then there's sure to be enough space to re-order shows easily within their group. But that's ... awful UX.
Drag & drop would solve the problem permanently, easily, & completely intuitively.
I use the "alternate podcasts" option in the playlist, so I don't need equal priorities. But for those who want equal priorities, there are lots of possible solutions. The most flexible would be multi-select: select several adjacent podcasts in the priority list, hit the "=" button, and bam-presto they're a single group sharing one priority. Heck, then you can even drag&drop the groups if you need to reorder them!

I agree. This feature would greatly enhance the app. Similar to the priority sorting on Overcast in iOS, which is very intuitive. Each episode is added to the end of the priority list and can then be dragged higher in the order based on user preference.
