Order By: department and then dragsort?

Hi zip222,

Dragsorting is an all-or-nothing feature. There are three ways I can think of to do this:

1. Use dragsorting only, and use the [url http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/detail.php?Create-Record-Here-1015]Create Record Here[/url] plugin to make it easy for users to create new staff members in the right department.

2. Don't use dragsorting at all; instead, create a new field called "manual_order" and enter numbers for each staff member, then you can have the database automatically sort on "department, manual_order".

3. Use separate sections for each department, each of which can have its own dragsorting.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions, or what you end up deciding upon.
