I have a list of items that display from query output.

I am trying to figure out how to let my users change the order of an item by editing the position number in the list and then click update to see their new ordered list. kind of like the netflix queue but simpler.

any help appreciated thanks

    How is the data stored?

    What part of the data needs to be changed to resort the data?

    How does the user interface allow this change to be done and the new data viewed?

    The data is stored in a table with a position number field. I am not sure but I think the position number needs to be changed to re-sort the data.

    I think the user interface might need to be a form vs a table list that I currently have now. The only field the user would update would be the position number.

    Thanks

    Coding this is reasonaby simple.  There are many ways to do it.

    I'm curious about your concept of operations.  Since this is a database field and there is a web interface, is it possible for User A and User B to mess each other up if they are using your app at the same time?
