Sorting Quesiton

Hello All. I have a small 'to-do list' that is working just fine. the db-table structor is close to this: id datetime (for date of doing the task) into (quick title/intro about task) text (guts of work I have to do) active (is task active or done) Here is the question I've got: My datestamp is simply m/d/y. (I need to keep that format) I would like to be able to move a specific to-do up-or-down the list, for the given days tasks. Adding a new table field is not a problem, I'm just not sure how to control the sort-order, or the re-arrange. I'm also not against using an array (as a friend suggested) but I'm not understanding what he was getting at. (quick conversation with him) Anyway, any ideas on this sort of thing would be great! Thanks. John B. Abela
