Feedback for ListView and for reorder depends on issue 22049.
ListView is not used for any place where is DnD useful. So DnD is implemented in ListView but no place where use it. The good place for DnD is Filesystems|popup menu|Change Order but this customizer is based on JList not on TreeView. The DnD support in this customizer is implemented too but is disabled for now because the customizer is show in modal dialog. Though there is a serious problem if the DnD operation started on modal dialog can freeze whole OS window system (e.g. X server on solaris). The heart is not known for now it's investigating, maybe bug in jdk DnD framework maybe not. As workaround the DnD operations are disabled on the modal dialogs (with a user notification). Generally, this task on ListView is implemented without any benefit. The DnD in Change Order should be enabled when the described problem will solved. DnD in Change Order will be tracked continues in this task.
This is the jdkbug, it's filed in bugtraq with P2/S1. This task can't be implemented before this bug (see bugtraq #4676398) is not fixed.
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
Created attachment 12373 [details] proposed patch
There is a light solution for it: to allow do reorder in Filesystems customizer, it's is built on TreeView. Good enough is enable DnD in modal dialogs (jdk1.4.2 allows it) and do reorder by DnD.
