.. and can I order all active records completly?
(without a loop) <SL> Don't manage the records during your direct update, manage the order records via a AFTER UPDATE trigger... <SL> Using a "separator" in the priority range is good, you can use it to manage the scope of the changes required. You would not need to update every row, just enough rows to establish the new sequence. Update table set prio = 1 to n where prio is not null order by prio?

Also I can do the following: Priority in steps of 1 ID 10 Prio 1 ID 20 Prio 2 ID 23 Prio 3 ID 11 Prio 4 Now the user can Set the ID 23 to Prio 2, how can I realize this without a loop? Update table set prio = newprio(1) where id = 20; Update table set prio = prio - 1 where prio < newprio; Update table set prio = prio + 1 where prio > newprio; ..more simplier?

If a user can never change the position of Record 4 ahead of Record 3 (as is the case in your example) what purpose does priority serve. If you had said that the outcome you wanted was: Record 1 from 3 to 10 Record 2 from 10 to 20 Record 4 to 30 <-********* Record 3 from 20 (should 15, Destination between record 2 and record 3)) to 40 <-********* Record 5 to 50 Then that would have made sense. Please clarify, the problem domain does matter to the solution. Sean
