Hi.

We are building a site that needs to be accessible to everyone. I'm used to navigate webpages via the keyboard so most of the functionality comes natural to implement.

But today I got confounded about manually reordering list. We have some content where the order they come in is important. So for users using a mouse to navigate the site they can grab an anchor, drag and drop an item in order to give it a new position in the list.

But how do I implement this with keyboard? Is there a recommended way? Some industry standard or how people usually do it? I want the users of the site to have an intuitive way to do this that they are familiar with.

My first thought was to add a order field so you could manually enter the new position of the item. Another is to navigate to the item in the list with your arrow keys and then hold a modifier key and press the keys in order to move the item up or down in the list.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Daniel
