So I end up doing a lot of weird stuff with Cartridge, but something a bit 
more normal has been plaguing me recently; user-defined sort orders for 
products in Cartridge's categories.

Basically, clients' sales staff want to be able to manually drag and drop 
products in categories to change their initial order when the page loads. 
At the moment, they're doing all sorts of stuff to achieve this, including 
unloading and reloading products so that "recently added" does what they 
want. D:

Obviously this is not a normal feature in Cartridge for a bunch of reasons, 
but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this before, and if so how 
you worked around it.

As I'm already customising cartridge, that's the approach I'll likely end 
up taking. It seems like the ideal way to do it is to make products 
orderable with respect to categories and then find a way to add a 
product-order widget to the category page in the admin that will update the 
category-respective order of products when edited. The latter part is the 
most difficult part of the implementation for me, as adding custom widgets 
to the grappelli is not exactly my strong suite. Does anyone have any 
advice on that subject?
