Outline View DnD

Hello all,

I currently have an outline view in my interface driven by a managed object context. When the program starts, the first four items are created by the program in an In-memory persistent store. The first 3 are leafs that change the view on the right. The Singers item is a group where any number of "singers" can be added as children, followed by a separator cell (similar to Apples Source List example). It looks like this:

Audio CD (if one is inserted, if not it will be added here when it is)
Library
Store
|>Singers
-----------------

Following that are "playlist" items that are created when a user clicks a button. They are automatically added to the end of the tree, and are created using a core data XML store, so that any playlists that are added are persistent. Now the dilemma comes when I want to get the drag and drop to work in a specific way. I want the playlists to be able to be dragged and placed in any order, but not above the separator. I have achieved this using the delegate method validateDrop: and returning DragOperationNone if the proposed child index is less than the index of the separator. However, I also want a user to be able to drag the items in the Singers group around in any order as well, and this doesn't allow that. I found that if in validateDrop: I check if the item is a singer and that the parent item is the singers group to allow it that it works for that. How do I get both of these to happen? If anyone could just point me in the right direction I'll take it from there.

Audio CD
Library
Store
|>Singers

---------------------
Playlist 1
Rock Playlist
etc...

Thanks,
Bryan
