Re: [Semediawiki-user] SF: Sort a #ask query output by the order the items are arranged in the form editor?

Hi Yaron,

Would it be possible to have a special kind of field in a multiple-instance template form that has the order in the range of instances automatically assigned to it?
Than you can choose to have an order if you want that corresponds to the order in the form.
