texte = Hopefully I read that right you have an initial search and sort. Then you have a way of selecting a sort and the occassional way of searching for different results. If I am wrong ignore this, but if not read on: My search: [search db=./some.db&[formvariables name=--&exact=f][getchars start=3][name][/getchars]=[url][value][/url]&[/formvariables]COLUMNtype=num& [showif [sortby]![raw][sortby][/raw]][sortdir][sortby]sort=1[/showif][showif [sortby]=[raw][sortby][/raw]]asDEFAULTCOLUMNsort=1[/showif]&max=30&startat=[ startat]] 1. This allows me to set the default sort by not setting one: asDEFAULTCOLUMNsort=1 2. You could modify this to be dynamic as well: COLUMNtype=num 3. You feed it SortBy and SortDir variables: Sortby=Name & Sortdir=De You will just need these variables passed by a link or form. This is my column sort link (even shows an arrow to let them know what direction):
Name[sho wif [sortby]=lname]
[/showif] Hope this helps. If not contact me Gary and I will see what I can do to help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Krockover"
