I have a query
$query = "SELECT * FROM sheet1 WHERE '$filter' LIKE '$search_field%'"
This prints out a table
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
// this just fills the empty cells
if ($row['fname']==""){
$row['fname']=" ";
}
if ($row['sname']==""){
$row['sname']=" ";
}
if ($row['organisation']==""){
$row['organisation']=" ";
}
?>
<td width="71" class="right_line">
<?=$row['fname'];?> </td>
<td width="45"
class="right_line"><?=$row['sname'];?></td>
<td width="437"
class="right_line"><?=$row['organisation'];?></td>
<? if (!$row['email']==""){
?>
<td width="165" class="end_cell"> <div
align="left"><a
href="view_details.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">details</a>
| <a
href="edit.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">edit</a>
| <a
href="delete.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">delete</a>
I
<a href="mailto:<?=$row['email'];
?>">email</a></div></td>
<?
}
else {
?>
<td width="171" class="end_cell"> <div
align="left"><a
href="view_details.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">details</a>
| <a
href="edit.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">edit</a>
| <a
href="delete.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>&sname=<?=$row['sname'];?>">delete</a>
I
<a href="mailto:<?=$row['email'];
?>">empty</a></div></td>
<?
}
?>
</tr>
<?
}
}
?>
but I have the three headings at the top which I want to use to re-order
the results alphabetically. So when I click on surname it will re-reorder
them aphebetically (z-a) and when I click on it again it will reverse it
(a-z)
<td
class="right_line"><strong>Firstname</a></strong></td>
<td class="right_line"><strong>Surname</strong></td>
<td class="right_line"><strong>Organisation</strong></td>
hope this is clear.
