I don’t understand why this needs to be a separate jobs list. |

I think we should have a global Jobs page under Actions, as well as an organization-level Jobs page. A repository-level Jobs page does not seem particularly useful. |

Currently completely redesigning it |

Add a build queue view that lists running and waiting Actions jobs in real runner-pickup order, with auto-refresh in place: - Instance-wide queue for site admins under the admin Actions section. - Per-repository queue in the repo Actions tab (Runs | Queue sub-nav). Admins can reorder waiting jobs by drag-and-drop, which changes the actual runner pickup order rather than just the view. Reordering is backed by an internal queue_rank column on ActionRunJob (0 = natural FIFO by updated,id; manually placed jobs get spaced ranks) applied consistently in the queued-jobs listing and in the CreateTaskForRunner keyset cursor. New jobs join the back of a curated queue and the order self-heals as jobs are claimed. Add migration v343 for the queue_rank column and a devtest page to exercise the queue list and reordering UI.

Pull request overview
Adds an Actions build queue UI at both instance-admin and repository scope, backed by a persistent queue ordering mechanism so admins can reorder jobs in the actual runner pickup order.
Changes:
- Introduces queue views (admin and repo) with auto-refreshing “Running” and “Queued” job lists.
- Adds drag-and-drop reordering for admins, persisting order via a new
queue_rankonActionRunJob. - Updates runner task pickup to respect the new queue ordering; adds unit/integration coverage and DB migration.

Adds a build queue view for Actions that answers "what runs next, and why is my
build waiting?" — and lets admins reorder the queue.
Two places surface it:
and running job across the whole instance.
Runs | Queue).Each view shows:
The list auto-refreshes in place.
Why
Until now there was no way to see the pending Actions queue. Runs are only visible
per-repository (newest-first), and nothing showed the order jobs get picked up or
what is currently running — nor any way to intervene when an important build is
stuck behind others.
What's new
admins on the instance queue). Reordering changes the real runner pickup order,
not just the display. It promotes a job in the queue; the job still only runs
once a runner with matching labels is free.
Scope / limitation
Ordering is globally exact only at the instance (admin) scope. The repository
queue is a filtered slice of the instance-wide queue, so it shows the correct
relative order of that repo's jobs but not their absolute position (org/user
runners pull across repositories).
