I had trouble with the above examples using this function to sort a MYSQL array and found that usort was a better choice. The below example sorts a text column which may contain a date using the strtotime function. function sortbyorderdate($a, $b) { if (empty($a["order_date"])) return -1; if (empty($b["order_date"])) return 1; return strcmp(strtotime($a["order_date"]), strtotime($b["order_date"])); } while ($rows[] = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {} usort($rows, "sortbyorderdate"); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25877 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25877 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25877
