Dual Listbox or Multi Select Widget: Allow sorting on the right side/selected options

I have students choosing possible workshops across 21 fields. I want to prevent them from selecting the same workshop multiple times and have the selections in rank order. 

A checkbox will prevent duplicates but not a rank order. 

All I can envision is a really complicated set of logic statements. Is there an easier way?

Maybe you can try the dual listbox widget:

Or another option might be orderable list:

If we can assist you further please let us know.

Thanks for the suggestions. They're on the right path, but don't quite do the job.

The Dual List Box had promise, but it automatically sorts in the original list order, regardless of how I select the desired options. It appears the sorting is set to match the Left Side. If Right Side accepted the input in the order clicked, this would be perfect.  That might be worth forwarding to your development team. 

The Orderable List would work if we had a finite menu of options. We offer about 100 workshops for students to select 21. 

In a perfect world, a blend of the two is what we want. The orderable list would be built by the students through choosing 21 workshops from the master list and then dragging them to rank their preferences. This list would then be stored as data we can parse as unique fields. 

Right now, I think the "do not make duplicate choices" warning, along with scripting a cross-check once we import the data, is our best option.

Thanks for your reply and for your suggestions. While I couldn't think of any possible solution right now, let me forward your suggestion as a feature request. I think a dual list box with sorting option on the right side would be a good addition. We'll let you know once this is added.

Here's a sample feature I've created on the request? Am I correct that this is something you want?

Thank you!
