Drag and Drop (and re-order) to ListBox binded to XML

[Jayme65]

Would you please help me with this scenario:

On stage, 2 listboxes and a textbox.
1.The first listbox lists all the items available, the list is grouped by 'Type' and its source is a binded XML file (read only).
2.The second listbox list all the items the user has dropped into from ListBox#1 and it should read from an XML at start-up and save to it on quitting.
3.The textbox list the details of the currently selected item in ListBox#2



My knowledge (and search on internet ) allowed me to achieve binding, grouping with an expander and perhaps the first step to drag item (to be verified)..but I'm stucked at dropping AND re-ordering items on ListBox#2..then saving to the XML!!

Would you please help (even in c#..I'll try to do the translation) ? I join a graphic and the project file (with XML files inside) to help you help me! Thanks!!

    Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
        'Initialisation XML
