button to move the item up or down. Then _javascript_ just needs to find
the currently selected item(s) and then add or subtract one to the index
and adjust the other indexes accordinly to move the others into the
right place. I guess my other question would be, how are you going to
make these changes stick in the database or wherever you store these?

I think in your case, I wouldn't use true drag'n drop, I mean drag
events.
Drag events are really to copy some content and paste it some where
else.
In your case, what you want to do is just identify an element in an
array and rearrange that array depending where you drop the element.
Just use mousedown event to identify the element being dragged, change
the cursor, and use a mouseup event to identify where the drop occurs,
But do not use drag events for this, it is much too complicated for what
you need.
