Hi Ray,
Thanks for replying.

Can you give me a small code example please?

This is what I am using to get the companies in order:

if(empty($Tcompany))
 { $Tcompany = $row[4];  }
 elseif($Tcompany != $row[4])
 {
        //echo plan and html here
        $Tcompany = $row[4];
 }

(I think the above was contributed to me by the dude...John Holmes...but am
not sure...works like a charm though so I guess so)

Cheers,
-Ryan
