    <p>I'm not sure how to do this or even if it's possible. I have a table of entries, but I'd like to change the running order of the entries. I've got a field called 'ID' which is set to auto-increment. I want the people in the back end to change the order of the entries themselves. So for example, if they move one entry up then the one above will automatically move down.</p> <p>I've put up and down arrows by each entry, but am not sure what to do next. The code I've written is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $id = $_GET['id']; $direction = $_GET['direction']; $menu = $_GET['menu']; con = mysql_connect("hostname", "user", "password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("table", $con); $sql = "SELECT priority FROM Menu WHERE ID = $_GET[id]"; list($curpos) = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)); // Find new position if ($direction &gt; 0) { // To be moved up $sql = "SELECT priority FROM Menu WHERE priority &lt; $curpos AND ID = $id ORDER BY priority DESC LIMIT 1"; list($newpos) = @mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)); } else { // To be moved down $sql = "SELECT priority FROM Menu WHERE priority &gt; $curpos AND ID = $id ORDER BY priority ASC LIMIT 1"; list($newpos) = @mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)); } if ($newpos) { $sql = "UPDATE Menu SET priority = $curpos WHERE priority = $newpos AND Menu = $menu"; mysql_query($sql); $sql = "UPDATE Menu SET priority = $newpos WHERE ID = $id"; mysql_query($sql); } echo $msg; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>but this doesn't seem to do anything, I've seen it working in things like cPanel's but really don't know how to implement it myself. I'd be grateful for any help.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
