I'm trying to sort a listing of albums alphabetically for LyricsList.com, the problem is that I want the initial 'The' and 'A' in some albums (A Hard Days Night, The Wall) to be ignored. So that the list will look like: Abbey Road Dark Side Of the Moon The Final Cut A Hard Days Night Kill 'em All The Wall ABC order, 'A' and 'The' negated. The info comes from a database, in three calls: // call albums that begin with letter $letter $query = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE '$letter%' ORDER BY album"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); // call albums that begin with letter A $query_a = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE 'a' ORDER BY album"; $result_a = mysql_query($query_a) or die(mysql_error()); // call albums that begin with letter T $query_t = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE 't' ORDER BY album"; $result_t = mysql_query($query_t) or die(mysql_error()); So I need to get just the albums from $result_t that begin with 'The ' (easy regex) and from $result_a that begin with 'A ' (easy regex), but puting the three of them in order is proving beyond my skill. Thanks in advance for any advise. Dotan Cohen __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
