Allow drag and drop custom ordering of profile field options

[boonebgorges]

Several of the profile field types (checkbox, radio buttons, multiselect, dropdown) allow the admin to enter options from which users can select. Currently, these options can be ordered by "Order Entered", "Name - Ascending", and "Name - Descending". It would be nice to deprecate these order options in favor of a drag-and-drop custom ordering like we have for the fields themselves.

I've created (and attached) a patch that addresses this issue. In bp-xprofile-classes.php I've slightly altered the output of the html that generates the structure of the various options so they can be manipulated more easily by ui-sortable. In admin.dev.js I've removed or altered some of the javascript in add_option() and added some new functions to enable ui-sortable on the individual field options. There is no ajax processing while reordering fields. The db is updated only when the user clicks save.

This is my first contribution to BuddyPress, and I'm really looking forward to feedback from the community.

Ooh, I like this. I think the patch is pretty good, but let's look at it in detail as soon as we start 1.7 so we can get it in. Fantastic first contribution!

Agreed, this is a great start. Thanks, humanshell - we'll get to talking nuts and bolts after 1.6 is out.
