re-order a sql result

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
