The preferred method to allow reordering lines is to simply add the `sequence` 
field in the editable list view, using widget="handle", then not to put it in 
the form view of the lines.
It seems to me this was added on both Supplier[1] and Customer[2] invoice lines 
in 7.0, so no customization should be needed in this case.

It would make sense to contribute the sequence fields to Pickings and possibly 
POs in trunk (+sync code), as users expect this information to be propagated 
during the whole ordering-invoicing-delivery flow.
By default I would not show the sequence and handle inside pickings though, but 
only use it to order the stock moves.
However this conflicts with the current _order for moves, which is set to 
'date_expected desc, id' and is useful when moves are displayed outside of 
their picking (quite common) - the sequence being relative to the 
picking/context. Perhaps using
    _order = 'date_expected desc, sequence, id'
would give an acceptable result in most cases?

For v7 this stuff could live inside 2 trivial modules.
