Hi, Again, it's WELL WORTH your time to take an hour and read through the API[1]. It will save you quite a lot of time in the long term (probably even the medium term).
You can get this from previousSiblings.[2] Given an element `element`, `element.previousSiblings().length` will tell you how many precede it -- e.g., will give you its index.
