Updating DataTables display orders by drag and drop

Using the DataTables plugin for jQuery? In my opinion its the easiest to use datatable plugin with great built in functionality, however, i came across a situation that needed to have display orders for data in the table (think CMS data tables and ordering of records for front end use). DataTables doesnt have that functionality built in. jQuery UI to the rescue! My basic datatable markup with data built via a cfoutput query: <table id="myQueryList" class="datatable-display" border="0" cellspacing="0"...
