Re-Order Items in DataGrid Client-side?

[Andrea Williams]

I have a page where the user adds authors to a DataGrid along with various
settings for each author. I need to allow each item in the grid the ability
to move up or down in the list (basically re-order the authors) and then
save the order back to the database.

In classic ASP I would put the list of users in a list box and have 'Up' and
'Down' buttons that are controlled by client-side JavaScript to move the
items up or down in the list. Is there any way to do this with the
DataGrid?

The standard data grid doesn't support this.
It's gonna take a significant amount of custom code to make this happen.
This sample code might be a good start for you:

Thanks! However, I don't time to build the functionality in for this
version, maybe next version. I think for now, I'll look into using my old
code and a list box.
