I'm sure some of the bigger libraries have much more complete systems for it, but if you're looking for something more componentized I pimp my PanelManager component: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_P anelManager/Index.cfm This abstracts most common (and some no-so-common) DHTML tasks into simple, cross-browser methods. The component abstracts basic properties (size, position, opacity, visibility, order) all changeable with animation, collision detection, cross-browser events. The manager can also provide lists of its members ordered by any property. There are examples provided that demonstrate drag-and-drop (not completely abstracted by the component, but easier because of it), animation, ordering, etc. Look at the "Drag-and-Drop with Ordering" example - I think that might be similar to what you're looking for.
