I am currently trying to figure out how to do the following:
I have created a window that contains a table(frame) with Entry widgets, Label widgets, checkbox widgets and button widgets using for-loops. The window also has two buttons (outside the table) that allow the user to either insert new rows or delete them. Up to this point the app works very well. However I am having a hard time figuring out how to create two more functions that run with the buttons created in the for-loop that move an specific row up or down.
The 'UP' button for example, in row 5, needs to move the row 5 of entry widgets up to row 4, while bringing the row previusly positioned in row 4 to row 5. See below:
How it looks BEFORE pressing "up" button in row 5 (click here)
How it looks AFTER pressing "up" button in row 5 (click here)
I have figured out how to swap the entry widgets, however what happens after when I tried to move row 4 to row 3 and row 3 to 4 after succesfully doing row 5 and 4, this happens, see below:
what happens AFTER pressing "up" button in row 4 (click here)
Also I would like stop row #1 to move up since it is the first row, there is nowhere to go, however I am having an issue making a condition to avoid that. See below:
What happens when pressing "up" button in row 1
I also would appreciatte very much that if someone has a better solution than the button up and down for dyanmically re-aaranging the rows in these table, please advise. I am opened to anything. For exmaple I have been reading about the drag and drop method, however it seems a bit more complicated and I do notknow if it's possible to do/use on this layout

You need to update the dictionary _entry as well:
def up(row): #FUNCTION I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
# don't move first row up
if row > 0:
for column in range(columns):
#index=(row,column) # not used
_entry[row,column].grid_configure(row=row, column=column+1)
_entry[row-1,column].grid_configure(row=row+1, column=column+1)
# swap _entry dictionary
_entry[row,column], _entry[row-1,column] = _entry[row-1,column], _entry[row,column]
