The rules themselves are stored in a database. The only issue I'm having now is an easy-to-use interface for reordering the rules. I was thinking of having a listbox that could rearrange them, then an UPDATE command to...update...the order.

The Filter systems in some mail clients come to mind. Is that the kind of functionality that you want?
I'm thinking of the Thunderbird Mail client, but I believe Eudora and Netscape have similar boxes.
I don't know a specific term for that "box" though. I think you'll need to use a listbox with seperate buttons and then program the actions behind the buttons to adjust the ordering. I don't think any programming environment has such a "rules-box" as a standard component.
