Hi all,
Is there a simple way (extension probably drag and drop) to move (dynamicly created) buttons from list and update the list (after drag and drop)?
The idea :
Thank you in advance for any help!
There are such extensions. But they are not easy to use. Search in the catalog:
I know there is a lot of extensions... But could you give me more precise answer? with sample of code how to do that.
I think you need to ask the author of the specific extension for a code sample.
You can drag sprites that look like buttons on a Canvas.
You can draw text onto a side canvas and use it's image file on a Sprite afterwards.

Yes!!! something like this, but I cant open it in app inventor 
Can words be arranged vertically? Because you gave an example of horizontal arrangement.

You rock! Thank you for your help (practical example of this extension). Thank you, thank you very much, I really appreciate!!! 
I created my example with words arranged only horizontal so I think for me right now will be enough 
I was happy too soon... Places words incorrectly. Try move first button to last position
That's the extension's fault. The drag and drop extension drops a button before another button. There is no other extension...
if drag and drop button have problems, you can use another way:
add other two button, one for move left, one for move right.
select the word button , then press the move button to move the selected word button (by exchange text with its neighbor)

This is a button based bubble sort approach.
I might have my left and right buttons switched, it is a rush job.

A workaround might be to add an extra button at the end. This button does nothing, enabled = false. Add it to the drop button list. When you want to set a word at the end, you will drag it to this additional button.
Here is a more user friendly interface, based on a html label with bold and superscript highlighting to simulate an arcade claw machine.

P.S. I got to use the new nb191 slice list block here.
