Store the sequencing number in the table, but provide a better user 
interface for moving things around. Could be Ajax, or could just be 
click-able arrows next to rows which do a POST. Or you could use the 
Drupal style and add weightings (heavy things drop down, light ones go 
to the top, draws are ordered alphabetically), which is simple but not 
particularly elegant.
