Simplest possible table entry editing / addition / deletion web toolkit (for use with php)

Question

Hi,

i'm building a website in php and i have tables presented that i need to allow the user to:
1. add new entry (only one at a time, which should appear as a new modal overlay)
2. delete multiple selected entries from
3. edit an existing entry (only one at one time, in a view similar to 1.)
4. re-arrange entries up and down. One by one is fine. Multiple / Grouping rearrangements are not not needed

what jquery / js / anything toolkit would be the SIMPLEST to work with? (of course, i should be able to work with it in php). I did try hacking away at: http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/ but had a terrible time trying to get it to work on editing some existing data (had problem passing data to it).
