Is it possible to have Word Wrap Lists Updated By Links Section?

So creating a Word Wrap list is easy enough to accomplish, you may need this to reference http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists/ on how to make word wrap lists. So Knowing how to make a word wrap list is half the battle. But the hard part comes in with trying to figure out how to have the lists update by using the links section in TXP.

Since each <code><li></code> item in a word wrap list needs a class, it makes it difficult to update dynamically via TXP. So what I am wondering is it possible either through a plug in or some other way to dynamically update thsi type of list.

Thanks in Advance

Re: Is it possible to have Word Wrap Lists Updated By Links Section?

To answer my own question, in case anyone else cares to do this. In textpattern you simply assign a category for the links and adjust the sort value accordingly. It really was a lot simpler than I thought. Example
<code>If your sort value is 001, 002, 003 , 004 etc and you wanted to add an alphabetic link between 001 and 002 you would just do 001a.</code>

Really simple so the hardest part is having the css skills to pull of the lists. Hope that helps someone.
