Drag and Drop feature in UI Builder that updates the planning item global rank

I have built a work items list using ui builder and the Data is coming from the Planning item table just like in SPW. I am trying to find the functionality that updates the global ranking or rank in SPW that enables the new sorted list to persist. I have the drag and drop working but once you refresh, the sort goes away.

Hey Bkimani, 
If your question is just about adding a 'sort' capability based on the Rank to a normal list where people are managing stories, projects, tasks etc., whether in a workspace or older 'list' view, the sort functionality should be as straightforward as exposing the 'rank' field in the list view, and allowing the users to click the header to sort the data. 

However, if you'll forgive me being a bit nosey, I'm really interested in why you've done this.  You're attempting to mirror functionality that is already available in the SPW.  You've clearly got SPM licensing if your users are working with planning items, so why aren't those users accessing the SPW for their planning needs?  Is there something specific they need that's not provided that you're capturing in your own view, or are you aiming to show this field to users who only have Scrum User?

Thanks for your reply! I'm looking to auto-update the global rank of planning items when they're dragged and dropped to a new position in the portfolio plan. This feature is essential for our simplified workspace.
