Hello,

All of us have seen applications where it is possible to promote or demote items in an ordered list.
I would like to implement such a thing for the records of a table.

How would you suggest me to implement that, using Access for the user-interface and sql-server as database. The table should have up to about 1000 records.

I imagined two basic ways of doing that:

- implementing a linked list in a table, this would make list operations easy and efficient but user-interface more difficult
- adding a sort-order field, this would make list operation less efficient (like "moving" half of the records) but would be easier for user-interface.

Interrested to ear about your suggestions (or you code?),

Thanks
