Actually, I'm just being lazy here - the DOM order is responsible for
the correct list member ordering (those DIVs contain form elements).
So after I've swapped the DIVs I'm "reindexing" all contained form
elements depending on their DOM order (s.th. like
container.getElementsBySelector('div.containing-divs-
class').each(<reassign indices for form elements here>); see [1]).
I mean, sure, I could take care of those indices manually, but that
seems to be quite error prone, since I also can add and remove new
DIVs on the fly...

[1]: that's for a spring MVC app, where you can bind to your form
objects' Collection properties by referencing them through an array
index, like <input type="text"
name="formObject.myListProp[$index].someStringProp" />. The $index
part is the one I need to recalculate each time I'm swapping the DIVs
(i.e. moving a DIV up or down)
