connect one news item to multiple news items groups.
Additionally to that the order of the items in each group is important and the content editors need to be able to change the order at any time.
So basically what I'm looking for is a structure like this:
News group 1
News item 1
News item 2
News item 3
News group 2
News item 6
News item 5
News item 1
I have already looked into relations, but it seems that its not possible to influence the order.
Also editing the order should preferably be possible through the default umbraco sort functionality (Right click in the content tree and then select sort).
So I think the easiest way would be if I can have multiple parents for a document, but I'm not sure on how to do that.

You can solve this using something like the Multi Node Tree Picker (MNTP) from uComponents and structure your site like this:
Home
News Group 1
- MNTP Property here to pick and sort news
News Group 2
- MNTP Property here to pick and sort news
- News Articles
- News Item 1
- News Item 2
- News Item 3
Hope this makes sense, the only downside is that the URL's for the news articles do not follow /NewsGroup1/ etc.
