I have written a form for entering publications for a webpage. At the bottom of the form, there are a series of checkboxes which allow the user to select the author(s) from a list of faculty members. However, when the data is written into the database, the order of the authors corresponds to their keys in from the table of authors, not the order clicked on the webpage. This is a problem because the primary author/researcher is not being listed first. Is there anyway to preserve the clicking order when the form passes it as an array to the PHP script? Does any of this make sense? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some help and/or suggestions!
