Yup, that's it exactly. It's not efficient from a speed standpoint but it should be fine for you, since presumably this will be an internal application.
On your list of agents page, you could either have an "update" button for each row, or get a little fancier and allow "all at once" updating. This would probably require some dynamic field naming and a little more code to update all the agents' display order values. Then you would run the same re-ordering function as when you add the agent, to update all the display order values to multiples of 10. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 12:19 PM Subject: RE: How to re-order items? > Interesting approach, Josh... so you're using the current > row (which would be auto-incremented by one) become > the succeeding display order number.
