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?

Webflow does not natively allow user-driven sorting of CMS collection items. However, you can achieve this with a sortable "number" field and Memberstack by following these steps.

1. Set Up the CMS Collection

• Go to CMS Collections and create or edit a collection.
• Add a Number Field (e.g., “Sorting Number”).
• Manually assign sorting values to items (e.g., 1, 2, 3...).

2. Add a User Interface for Sorting

• Use Memberstack to create a members-only dashboard where users can adjust sorting numbers.
• Add a Webflow Form with an input field to let users update the sorting number.

3. Connect Memberstack to Webflow

• Enable custom fields in Memberstack to store sorting preferences per user.
• Sync these fields between Webflow CMS and Memberstack using Make (formerly Integromat) or Zapier.

4. Automate Sorting Updates

• Use Webflow Logic or an external tool (Zapier, Make, or Airtable) to process form submissions.
• When users submit new sorting numbers, trigger an update to the Webflow CMS Collection.

5. Set the Collection List to Sort Dynamically

• Open the Collection List Settings in Webflow Designer.
• Under Sort Order, select the Sorting Number field (smallest to largest or vice versa).
• Ensure changes reflect in real-time after updates.

Summary

While Webflow does not have built-in sortable CMS lists, you can enable user-driven sorting by:

1. Storing sorting numbers in the CMS.
2. Using Memberstack to allow user input.
3. Syncing data with Webflow CMS via Zapier or Make.
4. Sorting the collection dynamically based on the updated values.

This setup requires third-party integrations, but it effectively allows users to reorder CMS items dynamically.
