Ah, then you want to have a look at Scott Rossi's GetInLine list demo. See http://www.tactilemedia.com/ > Software > Revolution Tutorials & Demos.


Ah. Now THAT is a kluge. thanks,

  kludge
  –noun Computer Slang.
  a software or hardware configuration that, while inelegant,
  inefficient, clumsy, or patched together, succeeds in solving
  a specific problem or performing a particular task.

- "patched together"?  Check.

- "succeeds in solving a specific problem"?  Check.

- "clumsy" or "inelegant"? Show me better.

Sure, it'd be nice to have in the engine. But Scott's implementation is far better in both appearance and responsiveness than most JavaScript ones I've seen, on par with most draggable list reordering I've seen from FileMaker Pro and other well-budgeted products where they spent several orders of magnitude more development money to get the same thing.

Kudos, Mr. Rossi, on a job well done.
