OK, if THAT's the case, then I think you might be better served with a ListBox in any case, which has much better support for the TStrings.Objects property and is much easier to implement item/line reordering and deletion logic.
If you're determined to use a Memo, then I'd suggest storing the text and objects in a TStringList, which you then assign the strings to the Memo lines. When the lines are reordered in or dropped from the Memo, then swap/drop the same numbered strings/objects in the TStringList. Make sense?
