DEMO :

Limitations:

a.       Drop Zones generally only exist at the Top and Bottom of the pages and so you'll need to look at grouping together your custom fields.

b.       Drop Zones won't solve requirements such as inserting custom fields into delivered grids or scroll areas.

c.       Design constraints will require compromise from your business users, but the rewards will be faster application of maintenance and reduced cost of ownership.
