I have got another idea: all we need for sorting (from a technical POV)
is a partial order. Why not store exactly that as a property? Assume
every TODO entry has an ID (if it has none and it is required to store
the order, just create one automatically). Then if an entry on the
agenda is reordered, store in a property (e.g. AGENDA_BEFORE), the IDs
of the items that should be sorted after the moved item. To keep things
minimal, maybe store only those IDs, which are absolutely required to
enforce the desired position. But for an easy and effective
implementation, it is also feasible to store all IDs of the currently
visible items that should sort after the moved item. Maybe the IDs need
to be prefixed with a filename or better a file ID so it works on
different machines with different directory layout. Otherwise the IDs
would need to be globally unique (which is not bad by its own, when
items may move between files.)
