Do the items consist only of displayed text, no hidden IDs or other attributes? Is the text editable?
If yes to both, another alternative is to put them all on separate lines of a textarea. Users already know how to edit this with cut/paste/drag/drop, there aren't any btns to enable/disable, clean and simple.
