Drag & drop to re-order artboards
It would be great to be able to drag and re-order artboards when designing multipage documents in illustrator.

I believe we can do that.
You open the Artboards panel and you re-arrange them :)
But I suggest you mean that re-arranging items in the panel should make artboards actually rearranged on the canvas, right? To mimic the behavior of pages in InDesign?
This is indeed an interesting idea, but the problem is that artboards can be of any size and positioning. We can have artboards inside other artboards, they can cross each other partially. What should Illustrator do then? Artboards are not pages, but more like viewports, although they can be used like pages.
So if you use them as pages, you can change the order of artboards in the panel and then do Object > Artboards > Rearrange All Artboards, and it will put them in the correct order you defined. It’s some what limited and forces to change position for All instead of any local changes, but it’s there already.Please tell more about the workflow that requires the feature.
