+
+- Modify connector-bookshelf to integrate new type of field (same as email/password);
+
+# Tradeoffs
+
+What potential tradeoffs are involved with this proposal.
+
+- Possibly wrong pattern, because all the fields should be seperated.
+  Field creation, extending should be seperate logic with it's own env.
+
+- It's part of the core untill strapi will support custom field creation.
+
+# Alternatives
+
+You can create seperate field for sorting, and manage it by incrementing numbers, but for dummy user it could cause more problems than solving it.
+
+# Unresolved questions
+
+- Name of field (personal suggestion - **sorter**)
+- Buffet icon 🚀
+- Maybe sorting should be core functionality without any sort field? (problem - that it will be possible to and it only on creation, like draft system)
+- Pattern of creating field types, consider adding support to add custom fields, eg. google map, image map, etc.
