Sortable distance deprecated NO NO NO NO

This is NOT a brilliant idea.  The reason given is user interaction should be instant and / or handles should be used.  This is absolutely not true.  For instance, you may have items that can be clicked OR sorted... clumsy clicking will move the object a pixel or two instigating sort when the user needed a click.  I know of several cases like this where a single click evokes help, a double click evokes and edit or dragging evokes a new position... as in navigation editors, etc.
