Hi Jerry,

Are you trying to do this inside CMSB or on a page?

If you could attach what you've done so far I can take a look at it for you.

Thanks.

Hi Jason,

I'm trying to do it inside the User Accounts record list in CMSB. So far the section is sorted by membership_level DESC

There are going to be hundreds of user accounts that will fit one of the 3 membership levels.

I wanted to make the list a bit more client friendly by putting headers between the member groups.

Hi Jerry

Thanks for clearing that up!

To have headers in the list itself, you'll be looking at some custom programming. As an alternative, what you could do is create a new text link section and have that link to a list of just one kind of account.

You could even create a section header for it and have the three links (one for each account type) under that so they are nice and organized.

You'll need to get a full URL with the correct query string to use as the links but that's fairly easy to do.

Let me know if this makes sense and/or if you want some more details. Thanks!

Thanks Ross,

Some more detail and maybe an example would help.

A simple solution would be to create three separate Section Editors in the CMS - one for each member type. I am doing something similar for a client right now - a list of donors divided into a few categories - and that is how I did it.

Not sure if that would work for you or not.

Thanks,

I'm trying to keep these in the user accounts section. Just put headings on the groups

Best,
