I have a React component which receives an array or objects via props. Something I would like to do is have an event re-order these props. However, it seems that React re-rendering only occurs when state changes.

Right now I have the ordering handled in the parent object and pass the method to handle the ordering through as a prop, but ideally I want the component responsible for rendering these objects to also handle the ordering.

Chucking props into state seems bad, but what's the best thing to do here?
