I need to provide the users of our system with the ability to manually sort a list of up to 200 entries. The entries are stored in the database and I need to load the list of entries and then provide the ability for the user to arrange them into an arbitrary order and then save that order in the database.

The only viable idea I`ve had so far is to have 200 listboxes that dynamically load the entries from the database. The user would manually select an entry in each drop-down and their selections would be saved.

It would work I think but isn`t particularly elegant and it means I have to create a form with 200 identical list boxes which will be time consuming to create and if I have to change the code in the list box, it means making 200 changes.

Can anyone suggest a better way to tackle this problem?

Thanks

Erich
