Sounds ok, but we don't need the moving up and down part.

We can make a view of the FAQ Questions in the FAQ Section where you can
see the following:

_1_ Question x
_2_ Question y
_3_ Question z

Each line starts with the order number, and then comes the question.

You can change all order numbers in this view by hand. Like this:

_3_ Question x
_2_ Question y
_1_ Question z

Result when viewing the Order view again:

_1_ Question z
_2_ Question y
_3_ Question x

Alternatively, you can also completely change the order ad hoc as in:

_1233_ Question x
_122_ Question y
_1_ Question z

After that, the view is always built up in order:

_1_ Question z
_122_ Question y
_1233_ Question x

So, in this case, you are very sure that Question z should come first.
Question y is so lala, and Question x should be fairly far behind.

When you add a new Question, it gets an order number 0, and will 
always be listed on top. You can add more and more Questions, which
will also stay on top, but in random order, which is ok.

When you think the order is not ok, you click on the ordering view,

_0_ Question a
_0_ Question b
_0_ Question c
_1_ Question z
_122_ Question y
_1233_ Question x

and change the order:

_50_ Question a
_2000_ Question b
_2_ Question c
_1_ Question z
_122_ Question y
_1233_ Question x

Here, you already know Question c should come directly after
Question 1. Question a is somewhere in the middle, and Question b
can come at the back.

Reviewing shows:

_1_ Question z
_2_ Question c
_50_ Question a
_122_ Question y
_1233_ Question x
_2000_ Question b

I think this is really cool, because it allows for some chaos,
while trying to define order :-)

Who is going to implement this ? ;-)
