How can I enable user sorting of CMS items in Webflow using a "sorting number" field and Memberstack integration? Is this feature possible to implement?

Yes, it is possible to enable user sorting of CMS items in Webflow using a "sorting number" field and Memberstack integration. Here's how you can implement this feature:

1. Set up your CMS collection: Start by creating a CMS collection or using an existing one in your Webflow project. Add a field called "sorting number" to the collection, which will be used to determine the order of the items.

2. Populate the CMS collection: Add the necessary data to your CMS collection, including the "sorting number" for each item. Make sure to assign a unique sorting number to each item in the collection.

3. Integrate Memberstack: Integrate Memberstack with your Webflow project to enable user-specific functionality. Memberstack allows you to create custom user roles and permissions, which will be essential for implementing user sorting.

4. Create a user-specific sorting number field: In your Memberstack setup, create a user-specific field called "sorting number" to store the sorting preference of each user.

5. Add custom code: With Webflow's custom code functionality, you can write code to update the sorting number field in Memberstack whenever a user changes the order of the items.

Here's an example code snippet to achieve this:

```javascript
// Get the current user's sorting number field from Memberstack
var userSortingNumber = memberstack.onReady.then(function(member) {
return member.custom.sortingNumber;
});

// Update the user's sorting number field in Memberstack
function updateUserSortingNumber(newSortingNumber) {
memberstack.onReady.then(function(member) {
member.updateCustomField('sortingNumber', newSortingNumber);
});
}
```

6. Implement user sorting functionality: In your Webflow project, create a dynamic list that displays the CMS items. Use the "sorting number" from both the CMS collection and the user's sorting number field in Memberstack to determine the order of the items.

7. Enable user interaction: Allow users to change the order of the items by implementing a drag-and-drop interface or other user-friendly method. When the user reorders the items, update the sorting number field for each item and call the `updateUserSortingNumber` function to update the user's sorting number field in Memberstack.

8. Display sorted CMS items: Use the combined sorting number from the CMS collection and the user's sorting number field to display the CMS items to the user, sorted according to their preference.

By following these steps, you can provide users with the ability to sort CMS items using a "sorting number" field and Memberstack integration.
