Body
The answer from Bill was spot on - but didn't include the PHP code necessary to perform the operation so here is what I ended up with: <pre><code> <?php //if new sort number is less than old sortnum if ($newsortnum < $oldsortnum){ //RUN SEPARATE QUERIES $sql_rename="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 = '999' WHERE sort1 =".$oldsortnum." AND category = '".$category."'"; $sql_reorder="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 = sort1 +1 WHERE sort1 >= ".$newsortnum." AND sort1 <= ".$oldsortnum." AND category = '".$category."'"; $sql_insert="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 =".$newsortnum." WHERE sort1 = '999' AND category = '".$category."'"; } //if new sort number is greater than old sortnum decrement all sortnums greater than new sortnum and decrement sortnums between if ($newsortnum > $oldsortnum){ //RUN SEPARATE QUERIES $sql_rename="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 = '999' WHERE sort1 =".$oldsortnum." AND category = '".$category."'"; $sql_reorder="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 = sort1 -1 WHERE sort1 <= ".$newsortnum." AND sort1 >= ".$oldsortnum." AND category = '".$category."'"; $sql_insert="UPDATE `sourcedocs` SET sort1 =".$newsortnum." WHERE sort1 = '999' AND category = '".$category."'"; } ?> </code></pre> Long story short - I stopped short of creating a PDO instance for the beginTransaction(); ...a little more messy, but it's working. I may switch to the PDO method but need to move on. Here's a link to the PDO info if you're having similar difficulties: <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.construct.php" rel="nofollow">PHP.net - PDO Construct</a> <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.begintransaction.php" rel="nofollow">PHP.net - PDO beginTransaction();</a>

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.
