The invention provides a user input mechanism for reordering of items displayed on a display in which the user is focused on item order, not item position as in the case of a drag and drop operation. The user selects one or more GUI elements displayed on a display of a data processing device in a desired order, where the time between each adjacent selected GUI element is less than a threshold time. Upon detection that no further selection has been made within the threshold time, the data processing device interprets the user as having completed their selection. At this point the selected one or more GUI elements are reordered based on the order that they were selected by the user, with any unselected GUI elements being placed before or after the reordered GUI elements as appropriate. The user is now free to make further selections if necessary.

User input mechanism for reordering graphical elements

A computer-implemented method is provided for removing access to data, comprising: receiving a request from the user to delete the user data; suspending control of the user data; generating a second database comprising the user data under full control of the user; deleting the user data from the database; and, on request re-integrating the user data into the same database or integrating into a further database. By providing a database under complete control of the user and outside the control of any database manager or service provider, users are given more freedom to decide what to do with their data. They can choose to protect it, or to monetize it themselves by selling it or licensing it. They can also create a plurality of copies, allowing sales to more than one database manager or service provider.
