Hi Folks, I've got a need to allow members of my website to specify a particular sequence field for a set of data. (in this case a set of products) I'm currently using a simple character field in a database to assign an alpha numeric value to each item and
then I just sort the data by the sequence field. For instance ... The user could assign 1 to the first record, 3 to the second record, 2 to the third record and then the displayed result would sort by the sequence value and the items would display in the order
assigned. In this example: Record 1 Record 3 Record 2 Right now they have an textbox called Sequence and they input the desired sequence number (or any alphanumeric combination for that matter) on the individual item. But ... This is awkward for the user and
I would really like a user friendly way to allow users on the web to sequence the products in a simple interface, much like the lists that allow you to move individual items up and down until you have the sequence that you like. So ... Any suggestions for
how to build a custom control to do this or available resources for accomplishing the above? Many thanks for any input. All the best, Ken
