I just wanted to say thanks for making this module as well. I’m currently using REEOrder with Pages and various other weblogs, and it works very nicely indeed
This plugin is really great, and I’ve been wondering if something like this existed for a while.
I’ve got a quick question:
The custom field I’m wanting to use REEOrder for is a field I would like to use in an XML file so that we can order a playlist. I’m wondering if there is a way to prevent repeat order numbers. For example, if the client puts the number 3 twice the XML will print out the number 3 for two entries which won’t work. Also, maybe not a big deal but it seems you have to know how many entries there are under the weblog to know what to put in the custom field (if there are 10 entries, put 11 in the next entry). Hope I’m making some sense here, or maybe I’m over thinking it
The point is, the actual custom field data is important for our particular implementation as we are ordering a flash module through XML.
Any thoughts on this would be awesome. Thanks again for the great plugin!
After reading over the ReadMe again, perhaps this plugin won’t work for my particular issue. Seems the point of this plugin is to not use the custom field? Makes perfect sense under most circumstances but in this case I need the output in the XML file to have a specific number reflecting the order.

What I would do in your situation is remove the client having to put a number in at all — only have him control ordering via the module. Then, in the template where the XML is being output, just use {count} to automatically assign the number to the playlist.
I haven’t tried the module yet, but I was reading about it, read this and thought I’d jump in.
ahhh interesting idea rmedek, thanks! I may try that, but we might have found another solution by coding the swf to take order based on xml order (without numbers). So we may be able to use this module after all.
I am having a problem with REEorder. I am using it with reverse related entries. I have used REEorder successfully in the past and I thank you very much for writing it. The module has been very helpful.
The problem is that when I use REEorder to change the order of the reverse related entries the REEorder values show properly in the REEorder module and in the weblog field but the values are ignored when I try to sort by them in a template. Also the values do not output properly on the page itself. It is like the REEorder values are being cached somewhere but not being used when the reverse_related_entries tag is used.
interesting—this is how the directory was when I downloaded the .zip file. I was confused on which folder to put in the modules folder, since there is the root, then there is the ‘reeorder’ folder, which seems like it matches the naming conventions of the other modules. any thoughts?
This module is excellent/life saving! If I knew where you lived I would come round and give you a shoulders ride for the day as a thank you -
Again, thank you!
I completely forgot about the ext. I’m sorry for bothering you with this.
