PHP/Javascript Reorder Items

Hi there I have a PHP script that lists items from my database. Easy enough: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 I would like a way of re-ordering these items as needed e.g. Item 3 Item 5 Item 2 Item 4 Item 1 The new order should be written to the database, obviously with all relevant database relationships between records preserved. There is not always a distinct order to the items hence I haven't used SQL's ORDER BY statement. I think the solution might involve adding a new field to the table e.g. "rankOrder". I'll let you decide. Is there a simple way of doing this, preferably with PHP but will settle for Javascript as well. Thanks. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
