What would the timestamp represent? Are you providing a timestamp which encodes the position somehow, or using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP? Updating the timestamp for all of the rows in the (sub) list? How does this permit you to reorder the items in the list?
Timestamp would only represent position and enables to put something in between, rather than an integer which adds +1. If put A (timestamp = 100) between B (timestamp = 200) and C (timestamp = 300), just set that order value to middle (150). Naive
It actually looks the same as "What about leaving room?" and, yeah, introduces complexity when you organize items for too long.
