Hello there, I've been asked to create something like the tables you usually see, where the headers are actually links and when you click the links, the table gets sorted based on the header. Are there any classes that you know of that would do the job? My current idea is to return an array of the colomn which contains the data you want to sort on (like 'name') then sort the array and do something like: [code] for (i = 0; i < length(array); i++) mysql_query("select * from table where 'name' = ${aray[i]}"); [/code] Any better algorithms anyone? Thanks!
My suggestion would be to have the client do it. http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/007.html I use it on a number of different pages. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V by William Shakespeare
