Is there any editable Auto-Increment besdies IDENTITY?
The reason I need this for is that I made a column on my table called display_order, for now it's smallint and the numbers were pre-determined.
However, when I insert a new record with my software I don't know how to get the highest number in that column and add 1, so I thought about the possibility of an auto-incremented column where if I change 8 to 9 it will change everything else accordingly.
Is this possible?

sounds more like you are wanting a trigger to handle the reordering...
