Add Support For Multiple Indexes

[Undistraction]

For example:

I have a Gallery that has_many Photos. Each photo needs an position so they can be ordered by hand, for which acts_as_list works great.

However, each photo can be flagged as featured, and a user can order featured photos as well. In this situation a second set of instance methods and separate position is needed that will store and allow manipulation of the photo when in the context of a list of featured photos.

photo.list(:some_gallery).move_higher
photo.list(:favourites).move_higher

is there any particular reason why this was closed ? It would indeed be pretty nice and way more configurable to have that
Maybe like:

class Photo
  acts_as_list column: :priority 
  acts_as_list column: :gallery_position
end

photo.move_higher_in_priority
photo.move_higher_in_gallery_position

While the default methods (move_higher, move_lower) are only available when acts_as_list are only available for the first call of acts_as_list.

It does sound like an interesting idea. It was closed by the author or the issue though, so perhaps they changed their mind.

We'd happy accept a pull request with tests for this feature, but none of us have the time to develop it right now.
