If you want DESC to go along with grade_num, just put DESC with grade_num:

  Grade

This seems obvious to me, so I must be missing something. :-)

Hi,

if ($var=='grade_num')
  $filter='DESC';
else
  $filter='ASC';

$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM players ORDER BY $var $filter");

should work.
