Support reordering of build definitions
---------------------------------------

                 Key: CONTINUUM-1995
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1995
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Web interface
            Reporter: Aleksander Adamowski


In certain scenarios, separate different builds of a given project have to be 
executed in a strictly defined order.

For example, when using the Maven 2 dashboard plugin to generate reports, one 
has to follow a strict sequence of builds documented at 
http://mojo.codehaus.org/dashboard-maven-plugin/continuum_historic.html ("mvn 
clean install site", then "mvn dashboard:persist", then "mvn 
dashboard:dashboard", then "mvn site:deploy").

Currently the builds defined for a given project are executed in the same order 
that their definitions were created. There's no UI to reorder them later. So if 
there's a need to insert a new build definition in the middle of the 
definitions sequence, one has to first delete all the later definitions, add 
the new definition, then re-add the previous definitions that were deleted. 
This is quite a bit of effort and may introduce errors to build definitions.

A simple UI that would let the user move build definitions up and down the 
definition stack would be of great assistance in this task.
