HI Steven, Thanks for the reply.

I know how to do that, but is there no way to have the entry ID displayed without having to do that, I find it tedious to mouseover and select “Show Details” for all of the entries to see the ID. I would have thought it more logical to have the Entry ID in view.

So either:
Image | ID | Name | Categories | Last Modified

or

Image | Name | ID | Categories | Last Modified

This would make referencing entries and entry ID’s much faster.

If I use the short code [connections id='11,1,2,3,10,9,8,14' order_by='id|SPECIFIED'] I also use a plugin called Peter’s Post Notes to keep a track of which entry ID belongs to which Person. If I have to change the ID’s in the shortcode I would like to open another window and browse the names and the ID without having to click on show details.

I know a simpler method would be categories but my clients like to have a particular order to the connections listed that’s why I use the shortcode above.
