you need to get the menu elements into a sorted array. The easiest way is to

store your menu elements in a database with a sort_order value

Code:

select * from menu_elements order by sort_order DESCENDING

This will get the elements into a object (or array depending on your RETURN)

pass this to the view:

Code:

$data['menu_elements'] = $Menu_elements
$this->load->view('my_view',$data)

In your view, loop through the elements and produce the menu labels

Code:

foreach ($menu_elements as $ME)
{
  print anchor($ME->targetURL,$ME->title). "BR"

}

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I use a jQuery plugin for my CMS:
http://bitsinashortbit.wordpress.com/200...ry-plugin/

It creates a table of menu-items that can be dragged up and down. At the end of every drop I save the new order to the database.

So, no arrows or numbers, just drag the items to the right positions.

Thank you, thats very useful idea for me!
