Coded List, A-Z

[sumo]

I don't exactly, have a coded skeleton for this, so I'm going to be as descriptive as possible. Although, I do have a visual graphic.

I want to code a listed system, which will be in alphabetical order. Below the list will be a short-text box, which I can type in to. An insert button will be next to it. Once I press insert, it'll put the text into the list, in alphabetical order.

As seen in the picture, "Billy" would then be inserted in between "Albert" and "Brad" once I click insert.

I'd also like to implement a permissions system, so you can only see and use the short-text box and insert button if you've been granted permission. If I'm not mistaken, it goes a little like this:

if($_SESSION['has_perm']=1;

That could be wrong, as I'm still learning. If 'has_perm' = 0 then they wouldn't be able to see the short-text box and insert button, just the list. Yes, I know a database is required. This whole system will be implemented onto my site, which currently my team and I are updating a list manually. It becomes a little time consuming. Hope I've been descriptive enough, and somebody out there can help me.

You'd simply insert the name into the database, and then select an updated list with an ORDER BY name ASC.

Do what @bigdawg said, and I'd suggest using a jQuery plugin/library/module (whatever they're called) to show the updated list in real time to all current viewers.
