Orderable glide_list slushbucket?

[Stu Gebhardt]

I need to select several records in a glide_list field.  However, I also need to have them in the list in a specific order, as they are are references to pdf sys_attachment records that will be merged into a single pdf by an external integration.  How can I add the ability to order the selection in the glide_list?  I ultimately need something like the sys_choice slushbucket that has up/down buttons to reorder the choices.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Unfortunately, there is no such functionality in the base system. The source code of the slushbucket is also not available for customization. You could probably insert those buttons into the DOM from a client script, but that is not a good practice.

Hi there @Stu Gebhardt 

similar to the sys_choice slushbucket with up/down buttons, you would need to customize the UI. Unfortunately, out-of-the-box glide_list fields do not support reordering. One approach is to use a related list with an order field. Create a new table to store the references and include an order column. Then, create a related list on your form that references this new table. Add UI actions for up and down to adjust the order values. This way, you can reorder the items as needed before sending them to the external integration.

if this helps kindly accept the response thanks much,

When I first read the question, I got an impression that the author was talking about a list collector variable in a catalog item, but now I am not so sure anymore.
