Lets say your coupon in question has the ID 4711, and is moved from position
X to position Y.
if x > y:
update coupons set position = position + 1
where position between Y and X and id <> 4711;
if x < y:
update coupons set position = position - 1
where position between X and Y and id <> 4711;
something like that.
