This wouldn't really be CF Code (although CF could definitely deliver it). You'd need to do this primarily on the client side. I've an example here using JavaScript and my "ObCollectionOrdered" object: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_O bCollectionOrdered/Index.cfm Go down to "examples" and look at the first one. The code is stand alone but in your case you would replace lines 44-50 with CF output of your items. Bascially your creating a collection of "Option" objects and a simple method to populate them into a select box (the populateSelect() box function in the example). The ObCollectionOrdered extension then provides all sorts of ways to manipulate the ordered collection - moving items (promoting/demoting/jumping to a position/first/last/etc) and sorting. You just manipulate the collection using those (usually just one method call) and then just recall the populateSelect() to paint the select with the new order. Essentially all your code does is paint the screen and call methods on the collection. The whole idea is easily transferred to other displays as well (there's another example of using the same thing to create sortable tables for example).
