Drag n drop within commandbar or gallery?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I want to create a control where 3 dynamic items are to be ordered by the user. The logic is like this (text is needed): 
"First use this", "Then this", "And finally this" 

If the user chooses to drag the items, it could end up like this:

"And finally this", "First use this", "Then this" etc

Obviously, drag'n'drop is desirable in this situation. The question is; where should this control go in my Ribbon application? Can I drag-drop items in a menu? (Is that even a good solution?) Can I get this behavior in a gallery control?

I imagine three text boxes somewhere...

What do you suggest?

My idea: A task panel inside a gallery?
