Hello
I am using a data structure that resembles a tree with ordered items. I
know I can use :order in act_as_tree to sort the items at each level,
but since the items have no logical order I would have to use a table
column just to store this order. My experience with position indices of
this kind is that it can lead to inconsistencies in the database so I am
reluctant to use such a solution.
So my question is this: Is there a way (preferrably implemented similar
to acts_as_*) to specify data structure with links within a certain
level of the tree, maybe using equivalents of previousSibling and
nextSibling as references to other items in the same table, as well as a
parent reference?
Grateful for help, regards
Erik L.
