What he'd like is something like this ...

Rank   File     Count
----   ----     -----
1      File W   13
2      File L   8
3      File A   4
4      File K   2

If you keep a count of the d/l's in a db then just query your file names,
rank by d/l count, and for the rank just output the Queryname.CurrentRow
value.

For example ...

<CFQUERY
  Name="myQuery"
  Datasource="myDSN">
  SELECT Filename, Count
  FROM DOWNLOADS
  ORDER BY Count
</CFQUERY>

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Rank</td>
    <td>File</td>
    <td>Count</td>
  </tr>
  <CFOUTPUT Query="myQuery">
    <tr>
      <td>#myQuery.CurrentRow#</td>
      <td>#myQuery.Filename#</td>
      <td>#myQuery.Count#</td>
    </tr>
  </CFOUTPUT>
</table>


Hope this helps,

Steve

the last sentence doesn't really make sense.  you'd like to display the
files by download count, but without ordering by download count?

Im not sure how to go about this.  I'm writing a download count to a
database so i can keep track of how many times each file is downloaded.
However, i'd like to display the the files ranking in a top 100 sort of list
only not in order from 1-100.  How would i output their rank according to
the amount of times the file has been downloaded without listing the items
in a desc order by download count?


Thanks,
       Emmet
