Pulling list-items up and down in a scrollable list-field in a standalone.

I have 12 scrolling list-fields (of 12 selfmade icon-fonts), from which users of standalone can select one or more items, and produce moveable buttons reflecting the "letter" selected  in the list, and  subsequently clickable can write its "letter"into a time-indexed line on the daycard of the electronic diary. Going to publish the standalone, with only 450 icons, I want to make it possible for users to update with new, expanded, versions  of the fonts, without having to abandoned the accumulated diary, and private layout in the first standalone ( with an average of app 38 items in each list). 
The solution will be to include all 256 ascii characters in each list. In that way - having installed future expanded icon-fonts - the new characters should appear in their 12 list-fields..... but they will be scattered down in the list, - and difficult to access.
Therefor the user of the standalone shall have a way , when scrolled to the very bottom, to move up to the first (last) new item, select it, and "pull" it upwards (preferably with the arrow-up key) all the way to the top, or leave it e.g. just under the original items, - or somewhere between them.  The potential should also be for the standalone users to move the preliminary items down or up, as they choose.  I see such functionality implemented in the menu-editor.   How can we script this ?
