Abstract
A Web-information manager stores items captured in Web research. It displays groups of such items and enables the user to move them around in the display so as to specify a custom order. It retains a specification of that order not only between times when the group is displayed but sometimes also while the group is being displayed in a different order. The user can therefore return to the custom order even after employing a different order.
Claims1

- A) displaying a group of items in an original order;

- and
- D) in response to user input requesting the custom order, displaying the items in accordance with the stored description of the custom order.
