"reordering via drag and drop" is too vague considering one usually uses a "sort" or a "mover" control, column header, etc. to reorder.

The TableLayoutPanel has no row or column headers. See my comments to Maciej here.

See my comments to Maciej's solution here. You could simulate this by some very tricky programming, but you would be better using another type of Control that exposes Row and Column objects, like a DataGridView. The TableLayoutPanel is a very simple Control.

+3 This is helpful in the sense of information on drag/drop basics, but the TableLayoutPanel has no inherent object structures for a "row," or, "column," which includes the Controls in the cells. And, the control has no concept of a cell as object, or a selected cell, let alone a collection of selected cells.
