I am going to take a 'local view' of the data and in the view add a field defining the order of the records in the grid. When the user manipulates the order of the grid it is this field the grid will update.

Mail order source codes have circulation and sales information appearing in a GRID. The grid contains all kinds of graphical niceties management loves looking at. But management wants to move the source codes around in unusual not predefined orders.
I'd like to be able to drag and drop a grid row graphically.
