   Here is what I am trying to do with a SharePoint list:

   I am using out of the box SharePoint 2007, no SharePoint developer available..

   I have a column called 'priority' which is currently a choice column (1-50)

   Is there a way to have it so when the user selects an item to be of priority '1' it will take the existing priority '1' item and bump it down to '2' and so on. If you've ever changed column ordering or the views it uses this same process.

   Any tips or suggestions would be beneficial, thank you!

   Someone posted about this recently but I cannot find the link. A solution was to use a Links List template and to use the Actions, Change Order menu item to automatically reorder the list items.

   Typically, the easiest way to change the order of a list without changing all elements in the list is to use a float number as an an order number.

   Item 1 = 1.0
   Item 2 = 2.0

   If you want to add something between 1 and 2, give it order number (2.0+1.0)/2.

   This can probably be done with workflow.

   I have a problem: Does workflow can do this?
   I want visitors rate items, the way of doing this is just through click. Then items will be displayed is a descent order automatically.
   Is it possible？
   THANKS

   I have spent some time trying to get SPD workflow to do that kind of thing, which is to say, loop through all the items in a list and perform some very simple calculation. I don't think there is any way to do it, unfortunatley. It almost certainly requires some custom code.

   If Mr. Galvin says it, I believe it. I'd pass on an SPD solution for this one. -- Mark

   The reply that someone had posted to a question like this a couple of months ago was to use the links list. When you create a links list, there is an automatic feature built in that lets you change the order of the items just like that.

   Can you place items in a Links list without actually having them be links? I mean- won't the list require that you populate the URL field? I can see using this method to allow users to reorder the list items but I would only want to show the columns that I want them to reorder. I guess you could use a dummy URL and just hide that column...

   Yes, you're right. You could simply hide the URL field and not use it.
