Using jQuery to Reorder a List and Update a Database
This tutorial will show you how to use jQuery to allow as list (UL) to be reordered and will also make an AJAX call to a PHP file that will update the database when an item is dropped.

The items are stored in a database with a field called display_order. When the report is generated we simply order by that field.
