Auto increment a custom value

Question

Hi everyone
 
Say I have a list of 4 projects. Each project has a custom field "ranking" and their values are 1, 2, 3 respectively for each project:
i.e.
Project 1 ranking = 1
Project 2 ranking = 2
Project 3 ranking = 3
 
Say now I have a new project created, and I assign the "ranking value" of this project to be 2:
 
Here is the tricky part - I want Workfront to be able to update the projects that fall beneath this rank to have their ranking value incremented. So the result I am looking for would be:
 
Project 1 ranking = 1
(new) Project ranking = 2
Project 2 ranking = 3
Project 3 ranking = 4
 
Is this even feasible in Workfront? 
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi @ibmfur,

Unfortunately, this post didn't transfer from 0ne.workfront.com very smoothly, and the underlying link to the specific Portfolio Optimizer article is broken (so here is a generic article), but in short, Workfront's built in sorting and/or drag'n'drop functionality to move projects up and down within a Portfolio will automatically populate each such project's "Portfolio Rank", which is an ordinal number (1, 2, 3...) that you could then use to solve your reordering requirements.

Regards,

Doug
