ordering

I have two Select lists, between which you can move selected options. You can also move options up and down in the right list.

When I move options back over to the left list, I would like them to retain their original position in the list order, even if the list is missing some original options. This is solely for the purpose of making the list more convenient for the user.

I am currently defining an array with the original Select list onload.

What would be the best way to implement this?
