Focus 2 - Multi column list

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Can you point me somewhere or give me some advice on how to create a multi column alphabetical list on a content page that would be easily updated as new songs are added. My aim is for a three-column list on a desktop that will shape-shift as needed for a tablet and cell phone. Straight text, no images.

Thanks.

Does the list do anything?

Does it load articles with clicked where they can download the song from or is it literally a list of links?

It is really just a list of roughly 120 alphabetized song titles. They add new ones all the time, so ease of upkeep (keeping them alphabetized) is important.

hmm not sure if I know of anything

If there were individual articles you could filter them through zentools but its just the one page of content

Have you looked on the Joomla extension directory?

Thanks for for your efforts; they are always appreciated.

This seems to works. 3-columns. Abreviated list.

<div class="zg-col zg-col-4">
<p>
A Sunday Kind Of Love All Of Me
<br />
All My Tomorrow
</p>
</div>
<div class="zg-col zg-col-4">
<p>
It Don’t Mean A Thing
<br />
I Didn’t Know What Time It Was
</p>
</div>
<div class="zg-col zg-col-4">
<p>
That’s All
<br />
Triste
</p>
</div>

If you need to automate the sort process then take a look at this:
datatables.net/

Depending on how users are entering data it may be of some use in sorting the list alphabetically within a table.

For columns this post may give you some guidance.
