[FX.php List] Edit List of Results

[VanBuskirk, Patricia]

Forgive me if this has been asked previously.  I did a search, but did
not find anything about this.  

I have a Departmental (phone) Directory using FX and FM9 on WinXP.  The
user logs in and gets a list of their sections ... under that on the
same page shows all the listings, now sorted alpha by Section Name, then
Print Line.  If there is a print order specified in the database, it
sorts by that first.

What I'd like to do is allow the user to re-order their listings
manually on one page.  In other words, I don't want them to have to
click on edit for each line, change the print order field, go back and
do the next line, etc.  This is how is was previously set up in CDML,
and was a huge pain for the user.  If they want to change line #25 to be
#1, they have to click edit/save on 25 records to renumber.  There MUST
be a better way, but I cannot wrap my brain around it.

If this is clear as mud, please let me know ... after all, it is
relatively early on a Monday morning!  If needed, I can email code.

 

Thanks,

Trish
