I read in the Dictionary that LC handles drag and drop between *unlocked* fields automatically. Crud. So I tried unlocking the field on mouseDown and then sending mouseDown again in 0 seconds, but that was a bust. I tried just unlocking the field on mouseDown and locking it on mouseUp but that was problematic too.

I'm using a variation of Scott Rossi's "Get In Line" implementation… you can download the stack directly with this URL:

Scott's got a lot of great tutorials and demos at his site, so you should check out:
