Reorder files in Fineuploader - best approach?

Question

We've just implemented Fineuploader (with s3) on a project, which is working great, however in the next section we are adding it to we need to store a sort order for the images which are displayed on the front end as a gallery.

Obviously this is beyond what fineuploader was designed to do, e're wondering if anyone has done this before and has a good approach. We are thinking possible:

• Attempt to implement this within the fineuploader UI div making the LI sortable. Benefits: all other functionality built in, easiest UI experience for user. Negatives: potential conflicts?
• Alternatively: after files confirmed uploaded remove from fineuploader and into seperate list. Pros: no potential conflicts with fine uploader. Negative: more code, recreating existing nice UI, UX more complicated.

Would be really great if anyone who has had experience can point us in the right way.

many thanks,

Just to answer this, I went for option one, made the UL sortable using jQuery sort plugin and had no problems.
