Sort via draggable/droppable/selectable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Feature request:

* The ability to manipulate the order of row data via drag and drop handles.

Simply put; add a handle to a row.  Allow for the row to be moved visually.
This doesn't necessarily have to affect backend data, unless a sortable column 
is involved.

The sortable column would be a simple int field, which is often used in 
situations such as lookup tables for drop down menus, that sort of thing.

--- hmm curious if you could add a framework to grid that would let you 
directly manipulate the presentation order of a related select menu.  

i.e. I have a grid and one column is a lookup select drop down.  An Admin mode 
exists where I can change the order of that select drop down.  Backend 
requirements would be a sort_order column of sorts, but otherwise that seems 
like a really interesting feature.

What would be the goal of dragging and dropping rows? Just to compare data?

I'm not sure if im misunderstanding your 2nd point.  You can already set 
order_by and sort before you call $grid->makeSelect()  Therefore you can 
manipulate the sort order of the drop down. Is this what you mean, or am i 
completely missing it lol
