simple lesson in query grouping...
When you specify a group attribute like so...
<cfoutput query="myQuery" group="firstName">
do whatever
<cfoutput>
do inner stuff
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
it will loop over the results and will "do whatever" every time it finds a
"firstName" that is different than the previous result.
"do inner stuff" will process all the rows that have the same "firstName" as
the previous row.
Example:
row firstName lastName
------------------------
1. Adam Ant
2. Adam Apple
3. Anna Conda
for the code above, "do whatever" will happen for rows 1 and 3. "do inner
stuff" will happen for row 2.
It is crucial that you ORDER BY whatever column you want to group by in your
SELECT query.
