    ordered list

    hey there yall...just a quick one (hopefully)

    i have a collection of stories for a website...the owner of the site has the ability to add/delete the stories at will...but no ability to set the order of his stories...i would like to add a way to order the stories....so im envisioning a textfield with numbers in it...and then they could enter "1...2.....3...4...etc"....

    has anyone seen a script that would take this numbering and if, for instance, they entered in 2 - 4's....it would take one 4 and make it '5' and leave one as '4'...then adjust the other numbers accordingly? if any of you are a netflix member....im trying to recreate the way that their queue functions....

    thanks in advance for any help, leads, etc

    you guys are the illest

    when you said "2 - 4's"

    do you mean that they entered two '- 4''s, like (- 4- 4), or do you mean they entered (2-4) and you completely confuse us over that?

    unless you meant (2-4 2-4)... which is pretty ridiculour in my mind.
    Remember, if someone's post was not helpful, you can always rate their post negatively .

    thanks for the replies....ill try to clear this up...basically its like i want it to be a decending list of numbers...with no duplicates.

    so like...if someone orders the stories like this:

    (these are input textboxes)
    1
    2
    3
    4
    4
    5

    i would like it to order the numbers like this:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6

    help any?
