AJAX Drag and Drop for re-ordering postings.

[Grover]

Hello,

This is my first request ever. I hope it hasn't requested before, but I couldn't find it overhere.

I am looking for a way to re-order postings in a thread. See : Ability to INSERT a posting inside an existing thread.

(the title is somewhat confusing : I don't need an insert-function, but I need a re-order function)

I know there are hacks outhere which give you the option to change the time-stamp of postings, but that is still very unpractical, because you have to do it on a post-by-post basis. I need a visual tool to re-order postings.

And I was thinking a while ago that the drag and drop functionality you see in an application like Windows Explorer would do the trick. So I can re-arrange postings just like files in Windows Explorer. But I thought... something like that would probably never see the light on a web'script' like VBulletin.

Until I saw the suggestion of digitalpoint : Drag and Drop AJAX

If this AJAX-technologie is really capable of pulling things off like drag and drop, then this is awesome. That technology integrated into a postings-overview like this:

... would give me the tools I need to re-arrange postings in extensive FAQ/Documentation-threads on my site.

I am very interested to find out if someone is capable of writing such a plugin/extension.
