What is the simplest way to order this?

I'm using a properties file like one giant cookie and I have these 'tabs' on my page that are displayed or hidden (then expanded or collapsed) all based on info from the properties file. BUT I also need the user to be able to reorder them.

If I can get a number assciated with each, I was planning to do a loop through them and include the 'tab' (each tab is its own page. EDIT: the tab is a div tag that, when clicked, hides or shows content in another divtag right under it by chaning "display:block/none"). I'm not sure how I can get a number assciated with each page without including a box where the user can type in the position (which could lead to errors like if they put two #3's or something) and it would be kinda awkward to do on a mobile device (and this is what is it ment to be on)

Sorry if i rambled on a bit, so in short, what would be the best way of ordering the 'tabs' with JSP?

(the number of 'tabs' may change at any point)

Thanks

What's a "tab"? We need some context here -- is it a Swing JTabbedPane or some HTML/Javascript tabbed pane or what?

Is this a JSP question? I'm not sure what the question is at all, but it sounds like it's most likely an HTML question.

I've moved it to the HTML forum for now until it becomes much more clear what is being asked.

Guess I could have explained more about the tabs... sorry!

Well the 'tabs' (as i call them) are div's that go across my page, and when clicked they either show or hide the content contained within them (or should I say make the div tag they are being held in "display:none" or "display:block")

Being discussed here.
