How to do a Drag-and-Drop UI dialog?

hi all,

 

i'm new indesign scripting , i'm trying figure out how create drag , drop ui dialog, https://github.com/marceljuenemann/angular-drag-and-drop-lists or https://rubaxa.github.io/sortable/ . want list of people can include authors, , want able drag ones want left right, rearrange them in preferred order, , hit "ok" , indesign will, say, update footers.

 

i'd use checkboxes option, except need people able rearrange order. indesign can because content collector drag-and-drop ui , can rearrange order of things in it, haven't been able find info on creating ui this!

 

i'm confused fact there's dialog object, script ui, can apparently create ui flex (but maybe that's old fashioned?), there other ways too?

 

any pointers or leads appreciated. thanks!

please note following:

-> flex support gone. if have cc version in mind, can forget it.

-> try creating extension in html5 want.

you can drag-drop panel layout (e.g., <div> or <tr> item layout).

-> yet see if javascript ui provides drag-drop support

-> native plugin option. can drag-drop want has complexity in implementation.
