  I've have a page that has a drag and drop ability to reorder a group of Structure entries (using jquery).
  
  I see order inside EntryModel (<https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/entrymodel>) but it looks like Structure positioning is handled outside the EntryModel.
  
  Once dropped and and the entries are reordered it submits to an action inside a plugin. If I reorder two entries (or any number) how do I set the new structure order?

  The place to do that sort of thing is [StructuresService](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/StructuresService).
  
  If we’re just talking about reordering a flat list of entries (no hierarchy), the only methods you need to worry about are [moveAfter()](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/StructuresService#moveAfter-detail) (if an entry is being dragged after another one) and [prependToRoot()](https://craftcms.com/classreference/services/StructuresService#prependToRoot-detail) (if an entry is being dragged to the first position in the structure).
  
  ```php
  $entry = craft()->entries->getEntryById(1);
  $prevEntry = craft()->entries->getEntryById(2);
  $structureId = $entry->getSection()->structureId;
  
  craft()->structures->moveAfter($structureId, $entry, $prevEntry);
  
  ```
