Repeater: Switch row order

[dibattista]

Team!

Is there an easy way to switch two rows within a repeater, such that row 5 becomes row 8 and vice versa?

The row order is driven by the order in which the data is added to the repeater. I want to be able to switch two rows based on a drag and drop event on two components external to the repeater.

After the drag and drop, I know which two rows I need to switch, I just haven’t worked out how to do this efficiently!

Thanks,

Caroline
