It is not really possible to think of a better method with this
abstract description. Ideally, the UI will be a comprehensible
abstraction of what the user is trying to achieve. Perhaps the user
could be given a method of inserting separators into a single selected
list to indicate how (s)he wants to group the selections. Maybe a
suitably labeled tab could be created for each selection where the
contents of the left hand pane in every tab would be the same. If you
are willing to implement a drag and drop interface and your lists
represent physical locations then your proposal may be the best.
