Windows Metro App–ListView reordering

A quick note on enabling reordering of list view items in Metro Apps.

1. In previous version of Windows 8, there was a bug and you could not bind the ListView to an ObservableCollection and have reording work. This has been fixed since the “Windows 8 Release Preview” and you can now use ObservableCollection.

2. For reording to work, it not enough to set “CanReorderItems” to true. You ALSO need to set “AllowDrop” to true.
