Can't you just order the query by form postition so that the elements
you want in the form are already ordered how you need them regardless
of whether you change the values of the order on the table?

The loop should always then output the form elements how they are set
up on the table!?

Hello all.

I have some code which reads the description of a form element (in this case
a check box) from the database and then displays them on the screen using a
loop to show a table 3 cells wide and however many rows dependant on the
number of records. Quite easy really.....

Now I want to be able to position any form description anywhere on the
matrix dependant on its formPosition number.

So,

BullyingTypeIDPK    BullyingType               FormPosition
1                          Racist                        1
2                          Homophobic               2
3                          Disabilist                     3
4                          Religiously Motivated    4
5                          Cyber                        5
6                          Other                        6

If I change the form position numbers the form element will change position
on the form ...

At present I have

                               </cfform>

I need to modify this loop somehow to take account into what the form
position is.
I can't get my head into gear on this one. Can anyone help please ....?
