I'm using an expanding panel widget on a multi-record list page viewer that requires each item in the list to display with unique html code.

Example:

<div id="div_1">
<div id="item1_1">
<?php echo $record['project_title'] ?>
<?php echo $record['project_description'] ?>
</div>
</div>

<div id="div_2">
<div id="item2_2">
<?php echo $record['project_title'] ?>
<?php echo $record['project_description'] ?>
</div>
</div>


<div id="div_3">
<div id="item3_3">
<?php echo $record['project_title'] ?>
<?php echo $record['project_description'] ?>
</div>
</div>

Is there a way with PHP to display the top-sorted record in div_1, the second in div_2, etc?

I am using dragSortOrder to order the records.

Thanks for any help!!!

A lot of times we can just use the Record Number instead. There may be some other ways to do this, but here's one:

Try this....

<div id="div_<?php echo $record['num'] ?>">
<div id="item1_<?php echo $record['num'] ?>">
<?php echo $record['project_title'] ?>
<?php echo $record['project_description'] ?>
</div>
</div>

Alternatively, you can create a textfield to manually put a number in and use that instead.
