Order/position number (or rank) in lists

Is there any way to show the order or position numbers of the users in a CB list? This shouldn't be too hard as it would be the index of each user in the list + 1.

Here is an example of what I mean. I want to rank my users by the number of hits they have recieved. So I set up a list that orders the users by hits descending. Great! But I want to display their rank in the list to produce a result like this:

[code:1]
Rank | Name | Hits

---

+

---

+

---

1 | Joe Blogs | 84
2 | Jim Blogs | 65
3 | James Blogs | 42
4 | John Blogs | 18
[/code:1]

Can this be done with Community Builder?

Thanks in advance.

Just add that field to the list... wallah!

OK, but I want this to be dynamic so if Jim Blogs got more hits then Joe Blogs, his rank would become 1 automatically and push Joe into second place.

Do you understand what I mean?

I think so, and it will be "dynamic" if your rank field is dependent on the number of hits. Every time someone pulls up the list, it should be current, however, if someone moves in rank while you have the list up, it will not automatically refresh without further scripting if I'm correct.

OK, I have built a rank plugin which dynamically displays a user's rank based on another numeric CB field. You can get it here:
