Programatically re-ordering a "DisplayOrder" column

Anyone know of any resources or information on writing a query that would accept a new "DisplayOrder" for a particular row and re-order the column for all other rows?

Thanks in advance!If you are asking the question I think you are asking, I had posted an answer to thishere.

The idea is to bump up the sequence number for each record that has a sequence number greater than or equal to the new sequence number...BUT only if the sequence number already is on file.

IF EXISTS(SELECT NULL FROM myTable WHERE sequence = @.NewSequence)
 BEGIN
 UPDATE myTable SET sequence = sequence + 1 WHERE sequence >= @.NewSequence
 END
UPDATE myTable SET sequence = @.NewSequence WHERE id = @.idToChange

Terri|||Thank You! A few questions...

IF EXISTS(SELECT NULL FROM myTable WHERE sequence = @.NewSequence)

This tests for the existence of the "@.NewSequence" value?
And what exactly is achieved by "SELECT NULL", I haven't seen that before?

I think this will work well for me...

Also, the sequence number must exist as it is selected from a DropDownList populated from the existing sequence.

Again, Thank You!|||The "SELECT NULL" works the same as "SELECT *" or "SELECT columnname" -- the column(s) selected have no bearing on the success of the EXISTS test. I tend to use NULL because I believe that requires the least amount of resources to process. Others choose to use the primary key column. I am honestly not sure how much of a difference there really is.

All that code is doing is checking to see if the new sequence number is already on file. If it is, then it pushes down all of the sequence numbers from that point forward to create a "space".

I'm glad you could make use of the method :-)
