with the implementation of issue 7180, basic functionality for row and column 
dragging is available.
unfortunately, this functionality is pretty much hidden from most users - they 
would most likely never discover it on their own, as it requires dragging of 
selected cells instead of their headings and holding a modifier key (two keys 
for most linux users, or only pressing the modifier key after dragging was 
started).
so this very useful and long awaited feature is hidden.
to expose it, it would be desirable to allow row/column moving by dragging 
their headings.
users expect to be able to drag selection elsewhere (it works for selected 
text, cells and other entities), so the intuitive thing everybody first tries 
is to drag columns by their heading. not being able to do that, most users 
would decide that this is not implemented yet.
currently, dragging a column/row selection by heading simply starts a new 
selection, so such a change would not disrupt an existing functionality.

(i searched for such a request for a while and asked on #dev.openoffice.org, 
but couldn't find already existing issue).
