Hmmm, faster? I'm not sure about that but, it would allow you to manipulate
the data on the server side as a native query object or structure if you
converted it to such. Either way you will have to write JS that allows
editing of the various arrays that will be used on the client side but you
can use WDDX to create the initial arrays that will hold the order
information. This method will prevent you from having to parse the
presumably large and unorganized data that would be returned if you just use
the formfields list or pass a ton of FORM. data. WDDX will allow you to pass
a "complex object" back to the server.

Is WDDX going to be faster then one of the methods already mentioned here.
I am just curious, as I am always looking for faster ways to do things, as
load times are still a big factor on the internet.
