How to make a list-view sortable in frontend?

[ThomasTheDjangoFan]

Hi 'ya,

I am new to Django and would like to create a sortable ListView (just like the Lists in Django Admin) for an array of object-instances. The objects themself are non Django-Models and are pre-populated in an array before showing the view.

I've got a basic ListView working (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/class-based-views/),
but the important question remains: How do I make it sortable?

Can you give me to some examples to check out how to implement a sortable ListView?

Kind regards and thanks a lot for your support
Thomas

Are you displaying the data in a table? If so, I've always used django-tables2, which includes the ability to have sorting in each of the columns via a generated link in the header row of any or all columns (up/down arrow, etc.).

django-tables2 looks awesome... I'm gonna give it a try.
