Description
Current Challenge:
Our company relies on multiple micro-services and scripts to calculate the optimal positioning of subitems inside their parent items. However, the Monday.com API currently lacks the ability to programmatically sort subitems.
Current Workaround:
To achieve the desired sorting, we:
Calculate subitem positions through our automation scripts
Populate these positions as integers in a dedicated subitem column
Manually click the sort button on each board to apply the ordering
This manual intervention occurs up to 50 times per day, making it a labor-intensive and inefficient process.

What are you trying to achieve
Requested Feature:
An API endpoint that allows programmatic sorting of subitems, similar to the manual sort functionality available in the UI. This would enable us to:
Automatically apply calculated sort orders without manual intervention
Maintain consistent subitem ordering across views
Reduce operational overhead and human error
