Description
It would be useful if the extension supported programmatic reordering through an API call like table.rows().reorder(fromIndex, toIndex). Effectively performing the same operation as the drag and drop via an API call.
My use case is that I allow the user to select a number of rows then move them to the top of the table when they click a button. A programmatic API for reordering would simplify this greatly.

Research direction
Review the existing drag-and-drop row-reordering behavior and the extension's public API surface. Define how a programmatic reorder should accept fromIndex and toIndex, including the requested selected-row use case, and verify that the API performs the same operation as dragging.
