It is very unobstrusive and quite simple to set up - just set up a css style called sortable, add the library to your page, then give the table an id and use the css class with it. That's it. I've used it a number of times it works really well. Here' the url for the code: http://kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ hth, larry -- Larry C.

RE: Sorting by Column Headers
If you've got a query like that, why store it in the SESSION? Store it in the Application scope.

Better store the form fields in the session anyway:
if not isDefined ("url.sortBy")
Store the form structure in a session variable
else
restore the form structure from the session variable
endif
run the query

Re: Sorting by Column Headers
The quickest fix would be to pass your search parameters on the URL instead of FORM (action="get" instead of action="post" from the submitting page). Then grab the current URL, minus the sort parameter, to re-use for the next output. Category .etc. This will retain the search parameters (since they're on the URL). ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:250790 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Sorting by Column Headers
I have a search results page where I am using the column headers as way to sort. Each time you click to header, it runs the query again and appends the URL to something like searchresults.cfm?SortBy=Price. However, once you sort by Column Header, it returns ALL the rows, not just the results of the intial search (where you might be filtering by Price, Category, Size, etc). Below is the relevant code: SELECT P.ProdID, P.Designer, P.DressSize, P.Price, C.Category, C.CatID FROM Products P JOIN Category C ON P.CatID = C.CatID WHERE 0=0 AND Designer LIKE '%#FORM.Designer#%' AND DressSize LIKE '%#FORM.DressSize#%' AND Price <= #FORM.Price# AND C.CatID = #FORM.CatID# ORDER BY #sortBy# Categorytd> Designer Size I know I'm missing something simple...

RE: Sorting By Column
Allow your code to accept the sort/filter variables as form or url variables. For example, something like: SELECT col1, col2 FROM table WHERE col1 = '#FORM.Filter#' ORDER BY #FORM.Sort# Col1 Col2 ... display rows based on query ... -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -Original Message- > From: David Sampson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 2:20 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Sorting By Column > > > Earlier this week someone posted a link to Web Tricks > (http://www.webtricks.com/) for help with sorting an output table by > columns.

Sorting By Column
Earlier this week someone posted a link to Web Tricks (http://www.webtricks.com/) for help with sorting an output table by columns. Great little application! Works fine! Thanks! But... (you had to know there was a 'but'). When I query by a variable; get a table of results; then, try to sort (using my newly installed sort-by-column links), the entire page is reloaded, the query is run again (this time without the form.variable) and the whole database is output! How can I get it to sort by column using the variables originally passed?
