Hey: I’m building a slider with a counter.  
But the images are manually sorted and filtered with `->sortBy('sort')`  
Now if I use `->indexOf()` I get the index of where an item is placed in the alphamumeric order.  
How can I resolve this?

```auto
<?php $filtered = $page->images()->filterBy('skip', false) ?>
<?php $amount = $filtered->count() ?>
<?php $items = $filtered->sortBy('sort') ?> 
<?php foreach($items as $item): ?>

	<p class="counter"><?= $item->indexOf() + 1 ?>/<?= $amount ?></p>

<?php endforeach ?>

```

You have to pass the collection as argument

```auto
 $item->indexOf($items)

```
