I have a Recipe which can have any number of Steps. Each Step can only
be attached to a single recipe. The Steps have an order, which is
stored in a stepOrder property on the Step itself.
I'd like the user to only interact with Steps in the context of a
Recipe, so I'll make it display the steps as an inline edit
relationship when editing a Recipe.
The question is how best to deal with the ordering? Ideally I'd like
these things to happen:
* Steps are always numbered within a recipe 1, 2, 3, …
* The user can't enter step numbers directly. Creating a new step adds
it to the end of the list with the appropriate number.
* Step numbers are displayed to the user, as read only.
* By each step is an "Up" and a "Down" button. Press "Up" and it swaps
the step in question with the one above it, changing the numbers as
appropriate.
* If a step is deleted, all the numbers of the remaining steps shuffle
up to remain continuous.
Is there any built in D2W-friendly way to work with an ordering like this?
Thanks,
Amy
