More like: camliPath:/collections/photo1 = sha224-blabla but yeah, you got the idea. > Would this mean potentially renaming all camliPath keys to move an item to > the front of the list? Not necessarily. If the top of the list is e.g. camliPath:/photo1 and you want to move another photo before that one, you'd just have to name it to something that comes before in alphabetical order (again, assuming we are sorting them this way), so to e.g. camliPath:/photo0. And you wouldn't have to rename any of the others. But yeah, maybe some situations would involve quite some shuffling around, I'm not sure. Btw, I've just remembered two things: 1) in the scanning cabinet we use camliPath:page_number to represent the set of the scanned pages of a document. It's a bit like what you want, except we indeed do not mutate the order. 2) In this thread, we were talking about another potential attribute, i.e. camliPathOrder, but we never ended up actually using it. Maybe we should revive it at some point. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/camlistore/xApHFjJKn3M/dyYpJDDAjvgJ > item_2: sha224-abc > item_3: sha224-def > item_1: sha224-ghi > > Thanks, > Dan > > > On Thursday, May 9, 2019 at 1:27:35 PM UTC+1, mathieu.lonjaret wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> quick answer, so I'll have to double check, but if I wanted to go the >> simplest route for that, I'd use the camliPath attribute.
