I found the solution here

Well, I can't really answer your question but I would suggest this:

If the order of portlets is not mission-critical, then use cookies to store the order instead of using a database. This will save you valuable space and performance.

Plus, you get to support users that have not logged in.

I have done this the cookie saving method and my saving to the database.

The database way is really the best method

When I saved box positions with a cookie, the page would load and the boxes would be in there default position, then when the page finished reading the cookie it would re-arrange the boxes from the cookie data which made the page look really slow
