What I can't understand Walter is why have we written 27 messages about anything which is not related to the question. And have spend on that nearly a month not getting even closer to the answer. See misunderstanding lead us to write answers that we don't need.
But what I think now is: if we can't do that in scriptaculous or prototype alone, maybe we can try to find some workaround. Like for example some kind of javascript grid, or point tracker. I don't know, just so we can say that if you drop an item on line 2, then ID must be that, on line 4 then ID must be that. That's the only workaround I think can be found. So maybe we should focus to find something like that, instead of looking inside of scriptaculous, that does not do such a thing?
