I have a need for users to re-order 10-20 items in a list, easily.

Normally I would do this in one of three ways:

1.  List the items in order on a normal html page, and add "move 
up"/"move down" links

2.  List all the items in the left column of a two column format, and 
make the items clickable.. when they are clicked, they're added to the 
right column.   Again, a plain html page with some coldfusion on the 
back-end.

3.  List the items and include textboxes for the user to enter the 
priority numbers.. 3, 5, 1, 2, 4 .. etc..

Personally, I usually prefer #1... #2 requires you to add them in order 
to the right column, and I generally find sites that use the third 
method to be a pain.

What I'd like to do is use a flash RIA with a component on the back-end 
that allows me to drag-n-drop within a single list box.  But I haven't 
done anything like this before, and wondered if anyone had some 
suggestions or examples.

I think I'll post this to flashcoders too =)

Thanks.

Rick
