I think this might work... - to start, in db, 2 records, display-order values 10 and 20
- form submitted with display-order value of 15 - run insert query using value of 15 - now three records, display-order values 10, 15, 20 - run query to retrieve total recordcount - loop query with index and run internal update query setting each display-order value to index*10 Am I missing anything? Any "gotcha's" in that approach?
