Seeking jQuery demo of sort and reorder like iPhone icons

Question

I'm trying to duplicate the drag and reorder action of the icons on the iPhone screen.

I want to rearrange divs on a page basically. Like in flickr when you organize your images... you drag one and others make room for it. The gap where you removed it from closes up. I want to do the same thing with divs that contain data.

I did find one page here that offers some insight... but their demo doesn't even work. So the search continues.

I'm new at jQuery, but am getting there. If I could locate a demo of this solution I could work with it.

UPDATE... Meh... it is starting to look like I'll just use Sortables and just allow vertical sorting. That should work.

This doesn't do what you want but might point you in the right direction.
