I'm looking for a widget that will allow users to sort a collection of
"things" into an ordered list (in their desired order).
For my use: One group of labeled items into one target list

Think card sorting, or ranking. Or those funny Windows controls with two
lists and buttons to move selected items from one list to the other.

I want one that works on the web.
And is also accessible.
It can have drag/drop as an option, but only as an option

I can't even think what to call this to search for it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

There are various scripts that sort table rows according to some column or other. It should be simple to come up with something based on that. I've got a forked thing on github that uses aria-sort and probably offers an inefficient but accessible approach. But I'm told LĂ©onie has something better almost ready...

And sure others do.
