<p>This is a copy of <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-13"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3089151" title="Status: Needs work">#3089151: TableDrag JS :first-of-type issues</a></span>, which has to get merged in gin as well, because of the tabledrag.js override.</p>
<p>In the docs for <code>drupal_attach_tabledrag()</code> it mentions<br>
</p><blockquote>In a more complex case where there are several groups in one column (such as the block regions on the admin/structure/block page), a separate subgroup class must also be added to differentiate the groups.</blockquote>
<p>I've been trying to get that working with minimal additional JS and I <em>think</em> I might've uncovered some bugs in tabledrag. When trying to use subgroups I was finding that dragging a row from one group into the other didn't seem to copy the subgroup class across correctly.</p>
<p>In <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2489826" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#2489826: tabledrag is broken</a></span> (<a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/commit/dcf9ab4">dcf9ab4</a>) some changes were made to some tabledrag jQuery selectors. I think the changes were meant to be functionally equivelent, just a little more efficient, eg:</p>
<pre>- var $indentationLast = $item.find('td').eq(0).find('.js-indentation').eq(-1);<br>+ var $indentationLast = $item.find('td:first-of-type').find('.js-indentation').eq(-1);</pre><p>
IIUC the starts of both of those lines basically do the same thing - grab the first <code>td</code>. But there are some other situations where I think the behaviour changed, and I wonder if that was unintentional.</p>

In this case <code>$row.prev('tr:first-of-type')</code> will only return a value if the previous row is also the first row in the table, rather than iterating each previous row. I've reverted that in the patch, but I wonder if the whole while block is redundant: <code>$row</code> is set from <code>$(this.table.tBodies[0].rows).not(':hidden')</code> at the start of <code>findDropTargetRow()</code>. Should it just be removed?

This is what caused the original problem and prevented the weight subgroup class being copied over when moving a row into a different group. As before it's looking for the previous row using <code>first-of-type</code> and in this case it means the source row for sibling relationships isn't correctly set. The patch should fix and test this.

The original line found the first row with the <code>draggable</code> class but the modified version looks for a row which is <em>both</em> the first <em>and</em> has the <code>draggble</code> class. This causes an issue with field_group on a table with a non-draggable first row: <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-4"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/field_group/issues/3085858" title="Status: Postponed">#3085858: Drag and drop acts weird, sometimes not resetting the parent, or even clearing the region value</a></span>.

<p>This is my first time touching tabledrag so careful review welcome :p</p>
<p>Also it's quite an old commit that introduced this, I know tabledrag is used in lots of places, so I'm not sure if I'm just missing something obvious... (:</p>
