jQuery

Hello experts.
I need some help to finish my code.
I want to change the order of my divs with my goup and godown functions.
Not the ajax function.
I did test this tutorial http://biostall.com/swap-and-re-order-divs-smoothly-using-jquery-swapsie-plugin but it is not what i was looking for because it is not really changing the order but adding a style to display the divs in different positions.
Maybe the insertAfter() can help but i'm not familiar with this.

Any help?

Hi kaufmed
It is working.
The only problem is now to show or hide the a tags if the new position is first or last.
Any idea how?
