However, getting the NULL results to be before/after the non-NULL results is fairly easy: select field1, field2, field3, remarks is null as prime from whatever order by remarks is null desc, field1, field2 By explicitly controlling the ORDER BY using the IS NULL operator, you can choose where to put all the NULL results. the "remarks is null as prime" bit gives you a calculated field "prime" which tells you if they paid or not. You can then test that in your PHP script and do whatever is appropriate with colors or text output or dancing girls. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
