Reorder by drag and drop

[kaveh1000]

I have a number of grouped controls, grouped vertically inside another group. I want to change the order of the grouped controls by drag and drop. I have not used dragdrop yet, but using mousestilldown to move the groups. Then on mouserelease I reorder and arrange by vertical position.

What is the best way to have a good interface for this action? Ideally I want the other groups to move out of the way and create space as needed. See attached illustration pls.

When I saw this I remembered a stack made in Aug 2017 and uploaded it.
See "Sample Stacks" or

You could also use (with much more features) my LCB widget "IconGrid",

Thank you so much Hermann, as always. I need to spend some time studying these, but they seem to be just what I need.
