Move documents through folders in a SharePoint document library it's a recurrent task you have to face (maybe).
But what if you have to move items through folders in a list? Just look at this, maybe you'll find this useful: this is based on a simple concept, a list item is nothing but a "file", so you can easily do the work like this.
A special thank to Alessio Pau who wrote this code :-)
