I have just got it working with the other system but I do like the animation on yours, sweet!

The new component is up here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_P anelManager Look at the "Drag and Drop with Ordering Example" (this example is horizontal, but the same thing can be done vertically). Again this library doesn't DO this but it does make it MUCH easier to do this. The script for the example is less than 80 lines long and a lot of that is example-only material (random number generator, panel creation, etc). The drag and drop (which is locked to the column) is pretty simple. The lines that actually do the reordering are 93-100: 93 // Get the Order of the panels 94 var PanelList = PanelManager.getPanelList("left"); 95 // Loop over the List 96 var CurLPos = PanelLPos; 97 for ( var Cnt=0; Cnt < PanelList.length; Cnt++ ) { 98 PanelList[Cnt].setPosition([PanelTPos, CurLPos], 0, 200); 99 CurLPos = CurLPos + PanelList[Cnt].getSize()[1] + PanelMargin; 100 }; The PanelManager gives us our ordered list of panels (ordered by the "left" property - from left to right). We then set our first position ("CurLPos") and enter a loop over the list of ordered panels. Each panel is set (with a simple animation) to that current position and then the position for the next panel is calculated by adding the width of the current panel and a margin value. It took me about a couple hours to add the sorting method to the PanelManager (most of it was testing) but then only about an hour total to implement the drag and drop sort. I'm pretty damned pleased with it.
