Random but ordered..

Hey,

I have been screwing around with this code for around a day and am hitting a
wall, any
help would be appreciated.


Basically, I am working on a site that queries the DB for companies and the
plans the company
is offering, the DB is quite big (a few thousand records in each of the 20
tables)

The parameters are taken from the client in the form of a search box and
usually gives around 1000 results per query, they results are then displayed
like this:


company 1
[] plan
[] plan
[] plan
[] plan
company 2
[] plan
[] plan
[] plan
company 3
[] plan
company 4
[] plan
[] plan

So far, no problems (even though the code and the design are mixed together
in the page)
but so far the code is getting the results grouping via $cno, which results
in the lowest being displayed first which gives the first companies who
joined an edge as they are always getting displayed.


Heres the kicker, he wants to have the same display as above....but randomly
from the DB *while still* having pagination.. so new joined companies too
get displayed and not shoved at the end of the results.


To see the code used presently (stripped down to a few lines) :

To see the output from the above :

Any suggestions, classes, code, links or general help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan
