I have created a custom widget, which contains a Clabel and a sashForm.
In the main program I give the label a Mouse Listener and I want to be
able to drop the widget in a certain way depending on where the mouse is
released. In order to do this I will have to switch one widgets location
with another. All the widgets are located in the main SashForm. The
default layout is vertical so it would be possible to switch 1st and 2nd
widgets, or 1st and 3rd widgets and leave the 2nd widgets where it is.

The SashForm lays out its children based on z-order. Use Control.moveAbove
and Control.moveBelow to modify the z-order. After changing the z-order of
the widgets, then a force a layout on the SashForm (SashForm.layout(true)).
