[Proposal] Replace current document tree

I propose we replace the current document tree with an Ajax sortable one with drag and drop like (or using) this http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/examples/tree/reorder.html

That is absolutely the best javascript I’ve seen!

If I knew more about JS I’d implement this into MODx myself... Alas, I am not a JScripter :-/

Well, it doesn’t allow appending to leaf nodes, which in MODx you can do, thus making the leaf node into a container simply by making it the parent of another document.

I’m trying to reach Jack to talk to him about several things and I’ll bring that up.

Now that would be great Mark (man, you’re full of ideas these days ) !

I just love it !
And I didn’t know extjs.com, really a great website... I didn’t browse enough to check out if there was a licence somewhere for this... Edit : Ok, found it : http://extjs.com/license

It’s GPLed

That really bugged me so I started digging in the documentation a bit. I’m not sure, but it looks like there may in fact be a way to do it:
Tree Node Dos: appendChild
