Reorder Repeating Group with List of Things

Hello guys, I’m new to Bubble, I bought this plugin and it works, but I can’t save the new order to database, maybe I’m missing something, I don’t have an index field because I want to reorder a List of things…? Is there an action to replace the new order in the field with a list of things?

Thank you!

Hi @antonio

Thanks for reaching out.

The order can be saved by “making changes to a thing” in the database for the particular item. Please see the screenshot. Currently, there is no action to replace the new order, but it can be done using Bubble, and showing the new order in a custom state.

If you have any other questions, or if something is not clear, please let me know.

Have a great day.

Hi Kirill, thanks for your help! I’ve already tried this but my problem is that in the example you gave me (as I understand it) the “Order” is a number in a field on the data type, in my case, I use a list of things (screenshot), so I don’t know how to assign the “New Sort Of Items” number to the index number in the list of things… I’m sure I’m missing something…

Thank you, look forward for this solution, Best!

I would like to clarify that to save the order of the items you need to have a separate column in the database called “Order”. The reason for it is that the plugin functionality requires saving the values in the database for it to work. Each value represents the position of the element on the page. Therefore, I would highly recommend following our demo editor page to see how it is configured: Zeroqode-demo-23 | Bubble Editor.

In case I misunderstood, or you have any other questions, please let me know :slight_smile:

Have a great day.
