I have been thinking of implementing some up/down arrows to permit moving of subtrees, but that is also rather clumsy so I have refrained from it. Here is another idea which perhaps both is more useful and easier to implement: A) When clicking on a [-] do delete a subtree save (a print representation) of it to the clipboard/kill ring (beside deleting the subtree, of course ;-) B) When on a [+] do add a new subtree give the possibility to paste the deleted subtree in this position. A is of course no problem to implement. B is probably not that hard to implement either if one has the (sub)type for the subtree available on the [+] button.
