ListView: no more reorder property?

Question
-
Hello guys.
The migration docs say that the reorder property has been replaced by a Reorderable property (page 206 of the doc). However, it seems like the control no longer exposes that property. That being the case, does that mean that we can no longer reorder items by drag-n-drop when we use this control?
thanks.

Hi Luis,
Reorder using dragging is not supported. If you need to reorder items in your ListView we recommend alternate schemes such as up and down arrows wired in your application that will allow a selected item to be moved in the list.

Yeah that's weird. The code is still there and so is the private property (_reorderable), but the public property is AWOL. I also don't see a breaking change notification about them removing the property.
What happens when you set listView._reorderable = true;?

I tried setting listView._reorderable to true but nothing seems to happen. In the developer preview this enabled a (very buggy) drag and drop reordering. Drag and drop reordering is a requiered use case for some of the apps I'm building.Wednesday, March 7, 2012 10:56 PM

I think you need to set listView.winControl._reorderable=true; where listView is the HTML element. Based on my test it works.

Hello Allen.
but aren't fields started with _ "private" by convention? If the "public" property was removed, does that mean that reordering is no longer officially supported by the library??
thanks

Hi Luis,
Reorder using dragging is not supported. If you need to reorder items in your ListView we recommend alternate schemes such as up and down arrows wired in your application that will allow a selected item to be moved in the list.

Hi Jeff,
Did you mean that reorder using dragging won't be supported in Win8 library final version?
I am wondering if I could wait the next release of Win8 library, or have to implement drag-n-drop support by myself.

Hi Todd,
Unfortunately I cannot speculate on what may or may not be in future releases.
