Thanks Eric,
Your reploy prompted me to look a little closer at the existing docs at
this URL:
http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Sortable.create
There's a note to the effect that it can be made to work using TBODY as the
container and TRs as the sortable. It seems to be working, at least in this
simple example:
<table width="100%" class="separatedSM">
<tbody id="firstlist">
<tr class="RowOne">
<td>Row 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="RowTwo">
<td>Row 2</td>
</tr>
<tr class="RowOne">
<td>Row 3</td>
</tr>
<tr class="RowTwo">
<td>Row 4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
Sortable.create("firstlist",
{tag: "TR", dropOnEmpty:true, containment: ["firstlist"], constraint:
false});
// ]]>
</script>

You can sort with other items besides a list but you must specify the
tag of the items to be made sortable if you do. This is the "tag" option
and should probably be set to "tr".
That being said I believe there are browser issues with sorting tables
(I think specific to IE) so even with proper arguments it is not really
sortable (but other elements are and if you really wanted a
cross-browser table you could simulate it with <div> tags or something).
