Can draggable views support "shuffled" ordering?

I can explain best by example:

Say I have two views.

The first has items: 1, 2, 3
The second has the first items plus some others from another view: 1, A, 2, B, 3
and they are ordered in that way.

Then I go along and drag the the first view so that it becomes 2, 1, 3.

Is there a way to use draggable views to then become: 2, A, 1, B, 3

Am I being clear? Thank you.

Yes, but the items "A,B,.." and "1,2,.." must be numbered the same way. So you would have to organize the first view "1,2,3,.." and the second view "A,B,C,.." separately with DraggableViews to achieve this numbering.
The view that lists all elements ("A,1,B,2,C,3") would be your third view. NOTE that this view cannot use the DraggableViews style plugin, because the order values will be ambiguous.

Furthermore you can assign taxonomy terms to all items of the views. Then you can sort by this taxonomy term as the second sort criteria. E.g. this will assure that the "A,B,C,.." items are always listed before the "1,2,3,.." items ("A,1,B,2,C,3" instead of e.g. "1,A,B,2,3,C").
