Steve is correct. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my post; that was the reasoning behind asking if you always wanted the first item to read as #1. If you're looking for the item's index in the dataProvider (and you're using an ArrayCollection) you could do something like myAC.getItemIndex(data);
