If it's a "master" order, just put a "rank" field on the records, and then make sure it's always 1 to N for the order you want. You can create "up" and "down" buttons to alter the order fairly easily. If each user gets to have their own order, then you're looking at a playlist for each user, so I'd have a different table with just "ID" and "rank" (and userID) in it and do the same sort of thing. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
