Hi Chris, All rows get nudged up one space. When you reach the top or bottom of a table then they get nudged together. For example, if you have rows 2 and 4 selected and hit shift-option-up then the they will move up to be rows 1 and 3. Then if you hit shift-option-up again row 1 won't move as it is at the top but row 3 will, so they will now be rows 1 and 2.
I have a sample application up at http://dropbox.mcubedsw.com/M3TableView.zip . As I said, once you have selected some rows you just hit shift- option and either the up or down arrow to shift the rows up or down. Hopefully it feels easier than current methods.
