Any way to quickly (drag and drop) reorder tasks in Redmine?

Question

We're using Redmine to log and track all of our tasks, bugs, and features. We have a one month release cycle and it's important to ensure that the order of the items in Redmine corresponds to the relative priority of each item, so that people are not working on less important stuff.

Currently to achieve this we created a custom field in Redmine called 'rank' and assigned each items a integer from 1-1000. This works initially but re-ranking items and reordering is just painful because the same item ends up being edited many times to get it in the correct place on the priority list. Is there any way to be able to drag and drop items to reorder them? I doubt we have a unique requirement, there must be some way other people are doing this??

Thanks for the help in advance, Max

Have you looked at the Stuff To Do plugin from Eric Davis? It may be close to what you're looking for -
