Hi Ignacio,
MMBase uses the posrel relation for this purpose. The posrel is a
relation with an integer field.
Instead of connecting author to document by using an insrel (= related),
you connect autors to documents with a posrel. If you use JSP and the
taglib you get something like:
<mm:import externid="author" />
<mm:node number="$author" notfound="skipbody">
<mm:related path="posrel,documents" orderby="posrel.pos"
directions="UP">
<mm:node element="documents">
....
</mm:node>
</mm:related>
</mm:node>
Kind regards, Henk.
