Chacges made to an administration panel

I have a website that accepts poetry submissions. In the control panel (backend) the admin panel lists of all the submissions which have not been read yet and are waiting for approval/rejection. The poems are listed by date, newest on top and oldest at the bottom of the list. The edition number (the book edition the poems are considered for) is also listed. In the sql database the editions are saved in a field by the number (e.g., 1,2,3,...) but in the admin panel the assigned name appears, like "Summer 2011") I currently don't have the functionality to sort the pending submissions by date, or to change the edition number. This is what you are bidding to do: 1. Create a simple little tool which adds a checkbox next to all the submissions in the admin panel. I will be able to check the ones I want to modify and change the edition number. For example, I can select a dozen poems scheduled for Winter and and move them to a different edition (like Summer). All this tool will really do is change the SQL submission field number from 14 to 15 or whatever (example). 2. Edit the file that lists the poems in the admin panel so I can change the sort order from ascending to descending by date. That's it. I know it's a small job but I don't have time to do it myself.
