Something like this should work (as long as you include the
RequestHandler component). Personally, I use an extra field "rank" in my
table which is just an integer.
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax() &&
!empty($this->params['form']['tableId'])) {
foreach ($this->params['form']['tableId'] as $rank => $id) {
$this->YourModel->save(compact('id','rank'));
}
}
