Your case is complex, but you might want to look into this method for reordering.

> Hi Thought I would share the method I use for allowing users to reorder items in a collection. This method is very simple and just manipulates the data for the row you are moving. No need to swap values with other rows which I think gets messy. I’ve put the app into the template store as a free template too - and here is the working app in case you would like to use it in anger. Thoughts welcome! Andrew

However I’m not sure how it blends in with your automatically generated index.
