Hello
I want to rearrange the elements in a page as i wish; for example visit http://www.pageflakes.com/.
How can i achieve that using JQuery? Is there any plugin? If not, how to start creating this? Any insights?
Is there a dock control available in JQuery UI? Or you mean to make use of drag and drop to achieve this?

Using the JQuery UI [Sortable](http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.8/Sortable), you can do this by 'connecting' multiple 'columns'.

I've researched already and i'm using JQuery UI for my application to move things around. But i want to avoid the controls being overlapped while dragging. So i've done my home work already and i'm stuck at this point.

@sje - Using sortable() is a good idea. But i'm not able to drag the controls outside the 'sortable' parent. But i want to, actually. I just want to avoid overlapping while dragging a control over another control. But i dont want to restrict that. I want to dock that and move them automatically.
