Serial number for listing of Content Lists (Category layout)

Hi,

I'm using the Table listing in Category Layout. The lists are showing in table format which is great.

However, I want to place serial numbers on the listings like in the following format:

1. NameA      EmailA      PhoneA     Gender     Location
2. NameB      EmailB      PhoneB     Gender     Location
3. NameC     EmailC      PhoneC     Gender     Location

Now, I could use {{item->id}} as a suffix to a new field but that would go in descending order as 1 would be given to the first entry. In my case, I want 1 to be the latest (newest) entry.

How can I achieve this?
 

Hello

you can only order listing by a specific field

either order by some text / number field that stores your numbering
or by creation date

I don't want to order listings. I just want "serial number" at the table listing. so it reads in the following format:

1. NameA     EmailA     PhoneA      Gender      Location
2. NameB     EmailB     PhoneB      Gender      Location
3. NameC     EmailC     PhoneC      Gender      Location
4. NameD     EmailD     PhoneD      Gender      Location
5. NameE     EmailE     PhoneE      Gender      Location
etc etc

Is there a simple method to achieve this? It doesn't have to be entered into the database.

Hello

Edit the category layout that you are using

then customize the code of files (do the same changes in both files, they are 99% same files)
category_items.php
category_items_html5.php

The above files contains the loop the iterates through the list of items

 

Thank you so much.

I got it working with this code in the template category_items.php:
Hope my code is useful to others who might be looking for such a solution.

thanks for return
