This entry covers the list UI that results from reordering — the frame-by-frame math of tracking a pointer and computing which slot it's hovering over lives in the interaction category's "Drag to Reorder" entry. The two describe the same pattern from different angles: what it shows versus how it's computed.
The difference from a kanban board, covered there, is what changes — a sortable list only changes rank within one list; items never leave their category. Order itself often carries meaning (priority, a playlist's sequence, checklist progress), so an <ol> is frequently the more accurate markup than a plain <ul>.
Dragging is mouse-only, so keyboard users need an alternative — "Move up"/"Move down" buttons on each item, or selecting an item and reordering it with arrow keys.
