Sort multiple levels

[kimss]

I now I've seen this somewhere, but I think it was in flash on http://www.sephiroth.it/. I've been looking at your sorting scripts, and the <ul> sorter is very nice, but it lacks a dimension or two. What I'm thinking of is a multilevel-sorter.

Take this for example :

Cars
- Volvo
- BMW
- Lada
Galleries
- Garage
- Track
About us
Contact us

It would be very nice if I could grab that "lada" and just slip it between cars and volvo. It would also be very nice if I could grab "contact us" and put it between "volvo" and "BMW".

Two levels would be sweet, three levels would be sweeter. Most CMS systems that have a lock on levels use three levels, or two. (There are some nasty recursive programmers out there that accepts endless levels aswell, sweet, ) So my favourite sollution would be :

Levela 1
- Levelb 1
- Levelc 1
- Levelc 2
- Levelb 2
- Levelb 3
Levela 2
Levela 3
- Levelb4
- Levelb5
- Levelc3

And so on, drag and drop sorting in three levels. I've looked at your scripts and I think the <ul> sorter looks very nice, and for all I know it makes it better for you to work with since we have a concistent system (UL menu).

Is this something that could be done in you spare time Alf Magne?

hello Kim

Sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately, I didn't notice your post until today.

You are suggesting a great script idea here.

However, it is difficult for me to post such a script on my site.

The reason is that I created a drag'n drop folder tree for my employer last year and I'm not allowed to post scripts on my website that are used in our products. And a drag&drop folder tree is pretty much what you're asking for, isn't it!?

But keep posting ideas, I really appreciate it

That is correct, and yes I see the ethical dilemma.
