Alternative to drag and drop on mobile devices

1. Nikola,

Hello,
currently, in scenarios where on Windows you move something with Shift+Up and Down arrows, such as in team selection or card sorting, on the Web client when using a touch screen, it is necessary to use the drag and drop feature, double tapping and holding what you want to move, finding the spot, then lifting your finger.
This is in my opinion quite well designed, but even so, it can still be quite difficult, both because the game zone is in my view quite small for many blind people to do this successfully and not be confused by many other elements on the screen, but also because I think it doesn't work with certain screen readers and browsers (mostly observed on Android).

Thus, I wonder would it be possible to add an alternative. I imagine it as follows:
If we have a menu supporting this kind of movement, when you long press any item, add two additional context menu options, "Move up" and "Move down". These items would move the target only one place up or down in the list.
It's still not the fastest way, it can take quite some time to set things right, but I think it's better than nothing.
Ideally these would be TalkBack/VoiceOver custom actions, but unfortunately we don't have that possibility on the Web...

This scenario works when selecting teams, but we do have one problem. In Uno, for example, you can sort your cards by moving them up or down, however, long pressing on a card opens a different context menu.
Regardless of the fact I think that menu isn't even necessary, ideally, if possible, these new "Move up" and "Move down" options should be appended to any other existing context menu options, if there is already a menu available.

Thanks for considering the idea.
