When using IB to design menus, it's possible to grab one menu item
and move it to a different 'slot'.  I'm looking for a similar thing
for text in a 'view' or somesuch.

	+-------------------------------+
	| Item 1                        |
	| Item 2                        |
	| Item 3                        |
	+-------------------------------+

Grab 'Item 2' and drag it down, release it, and wind up with:
	
	+-------------------------------+
	| Item 1                        |
	| Item 3                        |
	| Item 2                        |
	+-------------------------------+

I though I'd seen something like that before, but I can't find it.
Would someone please give me a pointer to such a thing?
Thanks,
Kurt

Look in NeXTDeveloper/Examples/ScrollDoodScroll.  NiftyMatrix does
what you want.  You can control-drag cells to new locations in a matrix.

It occurs to me that this example should probably be rewritten for 3.0 to  
use the new dragging protocol.

Look at the "NiftyMatrix" class in /NextDeveloper examples.  It's a
Matrix subclass with a couple of added bonuses, one of which is using
the control key to invoke cell rearrangement.
