Sounds interesting, but very complex. What about a 'priority' value
for ordering? Items with higher priority would be sorted first, and
items with equal priority would sort by registration order. It
isn't possible to specify the *exact* order anyway, so this may be
enough.

The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what
you want.
