I have a couple of lists, each connected to a toggle box. I'd like the user to be able to check few of the boxes, and for each list to be prepended by a number that sequentially orders the lists. It's difficult to describe, but I think I've made what I'm trying to do extremely clear in the example patch I've attached, which I prepared specifically for posting on this forum.

I'm fairly new to MaxMSP and even newer to Javascript in Max, but I'm fairly certain that the problem I'm hoping to solve can be easily done using Javascript. I gave it a few shots but am having little success, I think partially because I don't fully understand how to reference the inlets and outlets properly within the script. I've written psuedocode for one way of solving this problem.

Does anybody have any ideas for a script that could do what I've described in the psuedocode boxes?

javascript-to-generate-ordered-list

Something like this, if I understood correctly. Including one non-javascript and one javascript method of doing this.

Javascript to generate ordered list?
