I would avoid changing the IDs themselves. That'll likely lead to *many* headaches. Better to a) have a separate column just for ordering or, b) use TreeBehavior. Your data isn't nested but Tree could still help with ordering a single level. I haven't done this but I don't see why it wouldn't work well. One thing though: if this data is paginated, you'll have a bit of a problem, as you'll only be re-ordering one "page" of the set. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
