RE: cfoutput lists Alphabetically
You also avoid all the looped queries and conditional code by writing 1 SQL query and grouping your cfoutput: CFQUERY NAME="directory" DATASOURCE="someds" SELECT lastname, firstname, LEFT(lastname, 1) AS letterindex FROM Directory_tbl ORDER BY letterindex, lastname, firstname /CFQUERY CFOUTPUT QUERY="directory" GROUP="letterindex" #directory.letterindex#BR CFOUTPUT#directory.lastname#, #directory.firstname#BR/CFOUTPUT /CFOUTPUT Ian MacFadyen Sr. Application Developer Cardinal Communications http://www.cardinalweb.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph. 510.647.1400 x 210 -Original Message- From: Christine Kelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 10:28 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfoutput lists Alphabetically Hi!

Try adding "ASCII(lastname) AS thesortkey" into your select clause, then group by thesortkey and order by lastname at the end of your where clause. ~Simon Simon Horwith Macromedia Certified Instructor Certified ColdFusion Developer Fig Leaf Software 1400 16th St NW, # 500 Washington DC 20036 202.797.6570 (direct line) www.figleaf.com -Original Message- From: Christine Kelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 1:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfoutput lists Alphabetically Hi!
