My solution was to create a droppable between each items. If you have 3 items, you will have this structure if you allow drop before first and after last: droppable0 item1 droppable1 item2 droppable2 item3 droppable3 On my application, all these where enclosed inside a bigger droppable that added the item at the last position to create a bigger target. You bind the value of the AjaxDraggable to the object being dragged. You bind the action of each droppable (probable to the dame action) and the droppedObject to the attribute of the controller that should represent the dropped object (droppedObject will be set with the value binding of the draggable dropped). At this point, the usual magic append, if your droppable are created inside a repetition, the WORepetition item binding will contains the expected item for the droppable. For the first (or the last) one, you will need a different action because it is outside the repetition and you will need to know it. Outside the repetition, the item will be bound to the last item of the list. > 2) Insert the item at that point in the array on the server side. At this point you have all the information required, an array index of the item representing the droppable and the object being dragged. > I'm really not clear how to do this.

I think it is far easier to create multiple drop zone, the are javascript hooks available but just deciding on how the where should be interpreted would be challenging and creating a feedback to the user will be hard. With multiple drop zone, the feed back is easy, bind the "hoverclass" of your AjaxDroppable to the css class to use when this droppable is the current target (add some background colour or a thicker coloured borderline).
