Well have a look at this:
I've gone with the Ajax solution, but as I've never used ajax before I have 
a question.

( just the draggable bit-  its all WIP ) :-)


In the article where I got it from ( 
http://www.phpriot.com/d/articles/client-side/sortable-lists-with-php-and-ajax/index.html 
), he mentions this:

"One possible way to handle this would be to send a success/failure 
indication from processor.php, and then to read this response in index.php, 
rolling back the drag and drop if failure was returned."

Do you have any idea how he would 'roll back' the drag and drop if a failure 
was returned?

PS, I got it working and transferred it to a codeigniter environment, that 
why the urls look the way they do.

If you want any of the code, just yell.
