The new functionality of the Node-RED v3.0.x to be able to configure header information in the http request property is useful. I thought that the sortable list is more beneficial for the area because some API calls tend to use more than two headers. In my case, I would like to organize the following items by environmental variables or value order.

How about supporting the sortable list in the header area of the http request property?

I see no reason not to add drag handles. Are you proposing to raise a PR?
