Betternestedset talk - Jan 2007 - Reference to neighboring sibling

I would like to be able to move an entry among it''s siblings on the
same level.  Is it possible to reference a neighbor sibling without
knowing it''s id, (i.e. next neighboring sibling right or left)?

Hi Tony,

Fabien Franzen has just sent me a patch with that sort of
functionality. I''ll try to apply it soon, though I''m busy this
week.

In the meantime, you can fairly easily accomplish it with code like
this (untested):
    sibs = node.siblings
    node.move_to_right_of(sibs[sibs.index_of(node)] + 1)

(this  code doesn''t catch condition of node being last sibling)
