We offer a drag and drop option as well - very similar to your idea.
The problem is that our users find it easier to scroll their way
through the list and command click on the appropriate rows.
Users prefer to have their way I find.

The user has an NSTableView in which is presented a number of
elements ( 1 per row, typically 20 - 200 rows ) out of which
they need to produce a number of sequenced sub groups.
The user presses the 'Start Sub Group' key ( i.e. clear the
sequence selection cache ) and then by picking a possible sequence
( one row/element at a time ) they build a group.
As the group is selected, further info about that particular sub
group of elements is presented.
They can close/abort/store a given sub group at any time.
That does make some sense, but falls into the trap of not avoiding
modes (in this case a "build subgroup" mode).
If it were me, I'd have two lists: a master list and a sub-group
list. Drag items from the master to the group, and allow drag
reordering of the group to set the sequence. As a short-cut you
could allow a double-click on an item in the master list to add it
to the end of the subgroup, which almost duplicates the current
approach but with a double-click instead of a single, yet avoids the
mode.
Just a thought ;-)
