Description

It would be nice to have a column dedicated to sorting (numeric?) so that users could enter sorting values but not have that column display in the table.

I have made the new version I'm working on have hidden fields, so this will be available soon-ish (once I've ironed out a few more bits and bobs).

I did originally wish to implement (in the new version) a 'move up'+'move down' functionality based on the entry id of the row. I've since taken it out as it seems stupid to me to do this over sorting alphabetically? If you do allow sorting then of course, the entry ids may well get all mixed up anyway and 'weighting' won't make any difference. Meh, I doubt I'll ever be convinced doing it that way is a good idea ;o) But at least soon(-ish) you'll have an invisible column to hide away your own weights if you so wish.

Thanks,

Pobster
