 something like: "About. 2nd of 4 primary menu items.  Move this item up,
 down, or right."  Where "About" is the name of the menu item.

 That's way too much info for a screenreader, in my honest opinion. When
 I'm doing what I do, I need to be able to do it quickly. If I'm having to
 wait for the screenreader to finish with reading me the menu name, it's
 location, and what I can do with it, that'll take too long.

 Additionally, drag/drop doesn't really work from a screenreader angle.
 Noteably because not all screenreaders support it, nor do the ones that do
 support it the same way.

 Note: You may not have been thinking drag/drop. But since you didn't
 clarify exactly how things would be rearanged, I'm assuming that's what
 you're going for.
