Reordering the subpanels of an ExtJS panel

Question

I have an ExtJS Panel which contains a label in the first row and second row. Later i have added 4 sub panels each contains a checkbox, and 2 textfields( each sub panel in a row in the main panel). Then i have 2 Move up/Move down buttons which reorder these sub panels up/down by 1 row for each click of the up/down buttons. I am able to layout the main panel with all the subpanels but stuck at reordering the subpanels. How to handle this(reordering the subpanels) functionality in ExtJS?

The trick to change panel elements dynamically is to call doLayout function after change. Not prettiest but working example of your problem:

var Panel1 = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
    title: 'first',
    items: [{
        fieldLabel: 'text1',
        xtype: 'textfield'
    }, {
        fieldLabel: 'text2',
        xtype: 'textfield'
    }, {
        xtype: 'checkbox'
    }]
})

var Panel2 = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
    title: 'second',
    items: [{
        fieldLabel: 'text1',
        xtype: 'textfield'},
    {
        fieldLabel: 'text2',
        xtype: 'textfield'}]
})

var mainPanel = Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel', {
    title: 'main',
    items: [Panel1, Panel2]
})

new Ext.Window({
    width: 300,
    height: 400,
    layout: 'fit',
    items: [mainPanel],
    bbar: [{
        text: 'reorder',
        handler: function() {
            var swap = mainPanel.items.items[0];
            mainPanel.items.items[0] = mainPanel.items.items[1];
            mainPanel.items.items[1] = swap;
            mainPanel.doLayout();
        }
    }]
}).show();

This is for ExtJs 4.0.7, but trick works for earlier versions, just adjust panel creation syntax.
