Possibility to Sort the table by drag n drop (change order)

[karlingen]

Would it be possible to implement a feature where you can change the order of different rows?

For example in http://ludo.cubicphuse.nl/jquery-treetable/
under "Complex Tree With Drag and Drop" I would like to be able to drag the "iPhone SDK License.rtf" and drop it right under "Acknowledgements.rtf".

Just like how the "sortable" works in jQuery.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Just got this from Ludo:
"Sorting is a much-requested feature that I'd like to add but the next couple weeks I don't have much time. I'm writing this from the border between China and Mongolia as I am traveling a bit right now.

It might be possible to do something with the cached tree representation in data['treetable'].tree and use that to update the dom."

any update? it would be interesting. Some suggestion on how we could implement it?

Table rows do not like to be messed with. I have been looking at how this can be done, either with the jQuery UI Sortable and D&D components or a custom implementation. The UI/UX for this feature has a lot of edge cases but is not ridiculously complicated, except for the fact that tables and table rows are not the easiest HTML elements to work with in JavaScript.

The time I can spend on this component is limited so unfortunately I cannot give a time frame when this feature might be implemented. Any help is appreciated!

I will try but not sure how to do. I tried commenting one of the conditions
of the move API, and it's let you put an elements in same parent he
previously had, bringing him on first position.

I found a possible bug, that I'm trying to reproduce, it's not related to
my modification, it is present even without.
Practically, if we remove all the children from a node, the > expander icon
stay indeed disappear. When I'll be able to simplify at max the html code
I'll post it on jsfiddle
