Thanks for your replies, however what I was looking for was to have the countries sorted by alphabetical order starting with the US. I rewrote the query to:
"SELECT IF(countries_id='US', 0, 1) as ctsort, countries_id, countries_name FROM TABLE_COUNTRIES ORDER BY ctsort, countries_name" -----Original Message----- From: Boaz Yahav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 12:13 AM To: Ralph; PHP General Mailing List Subject: RE: [PHP] Sorting Country List Why don't you just add a hard coded line like this: <OPTION VALUE="USA">USA</OPTION> as the 1st option in your select box?

Currently, this is my query: SELECT countries_id, countries_name FROM TABLE_COUNTRIES ORDER BY countries_name; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
