   kludge
   –noun Computer Slang.
   a software or hardware configuration that, while inelegant,
   inefficient, clumsy, or patched together, succeeds in solving
   a specific problem or performing a particular task.

- "patched together"?  Check.

- "succeeds in solving a specific problem"?  Check.

- "clumsy" or "inelegant"? Show me better.

Sure, it'd be nice to have in the engine.  But Scott's implementation is 
far better in both appearance and responsiveness than most JavaScript 
ones I've seen, on par with most draggable list reordering I've seen 
from FileMaker Pro and other well-budgeted products where they spent 
several orders of magnitude more development money to get the same thing.

Kudos, Mr. Rossi, on a job well done.
