Hi Alex

Do you need the sort order(s) to go back into FMP, or can they just  
get stored as cookies?   fmpro.org has a cool re-ordering feature  
using some AJAX/scriptaculous, and they store the order in a cookie.

(See the right side-bar at http://www.fmpro.org : objects are both  
collapsible/expandable and re-orderable.  You can even see the cookie  
"FMProBoxesOrder" change as you move the objects around in the list)

HTH,
