Hi Marek, Sorry about the confusion, let me explain. With default sorting (without $TheOrder) I am getting this:
(using $sqlle = "select * from $table_namee where price <=$max and spacee >=$min order by custno,price LIMIT $limitvalue1, $limit"; ) company1 1plan1 1plan2 company2 2plan1 2plan2 company3 3plan1 3plan2 etc Which is the perfect results that I am looking for. This is the code i am using to get that output: if(empty($Tcompany)) { $Tcompany = $row[4]; } elseif($Tcompany != $row[4]) { //echo plan and html here $Tcompany = $row[4]; } So far so good, I am getting everything exactly the way I want it. Now I want to give the user an ability to sort the data according to the way he wants it....so I am using: ($sqlle = "select * from $table_namee where price <=$max and spacee=$min order by $TheOrder, custno LIMIT $limitvalue1, $limit) and the results are coming out jumbled like this: company1 1plan1 company3 3plan1 company1 1plan2 company2 2plan1 2plan2 I do basically want to order by both (as you said)...first order by $TheOrder and make sure it displays by "company".... Rob from the list said something about caching the result...but I really couldnt understand...am looking into it though. Any ideas or questions?
