Drag and drop reordering of database fields (sortables) with Mootools
This recipe follows on from the work done in my Scriptaculous Drag and Drop recipe, only using Mootools an alternative Javascript library that I have been using lately. I am not endorsing either library and I suggest you read both tutorials and see which one feels most comfortable for you, or choose depending on the library you currently use.

Drag and Drop Reordering of Database fields with Scriptaculous.
Rather than go into immense detail about why you would want to do this, let me present two real world examples of projects I have recently completed that have benefited from this kind of functionality:
- An ecommerce site where the site owner wanted to arrange categories and products in a more logical order (e.g popularity) as opposed to alphabetically.
- A real estate site where the site owner required the ability to upload multiple images of a property and then reorder them.
