Here is a very useful link that walks you through how to create a simple drag and drop section for a website. It creates a list and lets you move items around the list so that you can order them as you wish. With a little bit of CSS, this could turn into a really nice simple organiser.

I did find that I had to edit my javascript includes a little bit though. I had the scriptaculous libraries loaded with this tagged on at the end
?load=effects
With this in place, I was getting errors that sortable wasn’t defined. Once I removed it, it all worked perfectly.
