Създаване на специфичен размер

Наистина не разбирам въпроса ви, но ето пример за пренареждане на списък...

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;

CREATE TABLE my_table
(image CHAR(1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY 
,position INT NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO my_table VALUES
('A',1),
('B',2),
('C',3),
('D',4),
('E',5),
('F',6);

И така, да кажем, че искаме да плъзнем изображението от позиция 5 до позиция 2...

SET @old_position = 5;
SET @new_position = 2;

SELECT image
     , position old_order
     , ROUND(CASE WHEN position NOT BETWEEN LEAST(@old_position,@new_position) AND GREATEST(@old_position,@new_position) 
                  THEN position 
                  WHEN position = @old_position THEN @new_position
                  ELSE position+(((@new_position<@old_position)-.5)*2)
                  END 
            ,0) new_order 
  FROM my_table;

+-------+-----------+-----------+
| image | old_order | new_order |
+-------+-----------+-----------+
| A     |         1 |         1 |
| B     |         2 |         3 |
| C     |         3 |         4 |
| D     |         4 |         5 |
| E     |         5 |         2 |
| F     |         6 |         6 |
+-------+-----------+-----------+

Ето по-пълен пример, използвайки малко PHP за извеждане в HTML... може би някой друг може да го направи красиво...

<?php
//simple_sorter.php
//Preamble

/*
A simple row repositioning script.
This is using a simple $_GET to determine which row is repositioned.
So you need to supply a source and a target in the url, e.g.:

https://path/to/simple_sorter.php?old_position=5&new_position=2

There is no error checking, so it can quite easily fall apart, and because   
the SELECT comes befpre the UPDATE, you won't see any changes until the 
next time you load the page.
