Hi, I am looking to build a prompt using some templates I have developed. I am not trying to get Ai to generate a prompt for me. Within each row of my table, I am crafting a part of the prompt. But the order of the prompt is very important and I would like and easy way to reorder sections and have a cronological number assigned to a number field of a row based on where it is on the user interface. I was thinking about having a button to move it up and a button to move it down as first potential solution but I’m not quite sure how to set it up. Has anyone created anything similar? ---

I think I could give you a solution, but before I do I just want to be sure that I’m clear. Just restating in my own words: - You want a method to be able to manually order a list, and have the list items dynamically numbered based on the current order. Yes? ---

Okay, I just published that as a template. See if you can make a copy. I am aware that there have been some issues with private templates lately, so if you can’t copy it let me know and I’ll make a video. > **[List Ordering Concept](https://go.glideapps.com/template/Kq4K8qcik5c3CFeGShCm-template-published?privateTemplateToken=S0E5gb01MjYvZkcebBSf)** ---

I also need it but the template isn’t working!!! ---

Unfortuanately I can’t a copy so a video would be great if you don’t mind. I was able to see the columns you created so I think I understand just about what you have done but would be great to get a look at the set up of the if column and queries. ---

Nice solution! I was think of a workflow that changes an order value on all rows but this is much better! ---

I heard that Glide resolved the issue with copying templates. Do you want to try again? ---

@Darren_Murphy what if users need to delete rows? ---

If a user deletes a row, there will be one less row in the table 🙂 ---

I mean that if you delete a row with a custom index, another row will potentially not find the previous/next row and therefore the model will break ---

mmm yes, you’re right. That can break it. ---

Presumably you could push it to the bottom and then delete it? ---

Yes, deleting from the bottom (or top) doesn’t break it. It only breaks if you delete a row in the middle. ---
