how to display entity references as numbered list?

Question

I'm selling music albums in Commerce. The product type has an entity reference field with unlimited values for the content type 'tracks' which I'm using to display the tracklist of an album. I'd like to output this field as a numbered list so the track I reference are displayed like this:

1. track title
2. track title etc.

I also need to be able to export the track number from a View via Views Data Export.

Any ideas as to how achieve this?

Answer 1

Its pretty simple, in this example I will use title instead of an entity reference field, but it's the same process.

Step 1) add Global: View result counter as a field.

Step 2) Uncheck create label, and checkmark hide from display.

Step 3) Re-arrange so your counter is above your entity reference field.

Step 4) Re-write results and use replacement patterns to format your title field.
