Hi @oyeanuj, `acts_as_list` treats the position column as a literal position value (rather than the position in the list), though those two things could be the same, and ideally they...

Hi @martinstreicher, sadly I'm not sure there's an easy answer to having a unique constraint on the position column. There is a mode you can go into called `sequential_updates`. With...
