Here are some sample files of interesting FileMaker techniques. For the moment, there's only one, but more will be added in the future.

Reordering Lists

Reordering Lists

There is no great way to reorder a group of records. Unlike a program like OmniOutliner, you can't simply reorder records by dragging them above another record. Developers often use arrows to move records up or down in a list, or require the user to enter a new order.Here's something interesting I came up with that allows you to physically reorder a list. The example uses playing cards to illustrate the point, but it will work just as well for a list of records.  I added a second method of reordering lists that uses a portal. Just click on the record you want to move and then click on the place you want to insert it.
