Well, if you've got no pager, here's an idea: You've got two displays - one display (the main one) which displays one item, and a second display that displays the rest. Display one is set up to display only the node provided via the argument, so that's automatically first. The second display is made into an attachment on the first display, which inherits the same argument, only on the second display the argument defines the node that isn't displayed. The tricky thing is the way you're displaying them as a grid - that may not work with having the page split into two views without a lot of work with css and/or alternate view templates. It might be simpler to have a 'grand' display of the argument node on top of a grid showing the rest of them. -- John Fiala www.jcfiala.net
