Unable to change Rankings on Steam Wishlist.
About 5 days ago my wishlist bugged out.
I am now unable to change the rankings of the games on my wishlist.

I usually go through the daily discovery queue and sometimes add a new game to my wishlist if it seems interesting.
It always ends up on the bottom of my wishlist, and I will change the ranking based on how interested I am in buying the game.
I have done so without any problems for 10+ years, but 5 days ago I was suddenly unable to change anything.

If I physically move a game 1 rank up it will go back to the original rank after a few seconds.
When I manually write in a new rank it wont register when I press enter.
Before when I tried to manually changed the rank the number would be higlighted the instant I pressed the rank and allow me to instantly input the new rank, when I try to do the same now I have to delete everything manually, it's like it no longer registers my input into the rank.

I have tried everything obvious like restarting my pc, logging off steam, entering and exiting big picture mode, changing every available settings in the filter and options in the wishlist, nothing have worked so far.
It's on and always have been on the show ranking option, since that is the only one that allows you to change the rankings.

Nothing special happened before it stopped working, no update, pc crash or anything like that.
One day it was fine the next day it was broken.

If anyone has experienced anything like this before, or have any other ideas on what I could do to fix it i would appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

Same issue on an iPad. Also, when I try to drag something the list glitches out and the thing I’m trying to drag just jumps all over the place. Between this and large amounts of content erroring out the app is quickly becoming useless.

Same here i was searching like crazy for posts with the same issue. I was thinking it was something on my end maybe because of amount (5k wishlist- i do that to help peruse how much trash releases daily) but it seems it was some update

Apparently steam also made an update that can show removed titles in the wishlist so people can remove then.- i suspect that broke reordering

But im unsure if its for everyone. Can anyone without this problem comment here?

I wonder if this is affecting everyone or just people with removed titles in their lists. I know i have a bunch, i intend to remove then (slowly, list too large)- but anyone with a smaller wishlist with this bug could try removing then, reloading and see if the bug happens without any removed titles

I cleaned up my wishlist and removed all the games that had become (Unavailable Item), but it didnt fix the problem either. It's still bugged.

The wishlist was updated recently. In order to see and set your own rankings you have set "Sort by:" at the top to "your rank". Then you can drag and drop to change ranks or set the number directly.

Thats the problem, for those of us with the bug thats not working. That was the first thing ive tried.

Typing the number or dragging it 'changes' for 1 sec max before snapping back to how things where. Updating the page does nothing so it isnt a rendering bug. It isnt browser specific either since the bug behaves the same in different browsers and on steams client own web render.

If you can reorder then it means its specific per account, wich is my suspicion. I had hopes the presence of unlisted itens was the cause but that aint it... what else

Maybe its size? I have a huge WL- 5k currently. Can anyone confirm your bugged WL is big?

If that aint it i have no idea. Maybe dlc or particular bugged titles... but that would be impossible for us to figure or 'workaround'
