Maybe I didn't explain it properly.

Let's try this.

I have a SESSION variable that contains a list of files and directories. For example:

<CFSET SESSION.items = LISTAPPEND(SESSION.items,URL.list)>

SESSION.items = /temp/dir1,/temp/dir2,/temp/dir3,file1.txt,/temp/dir4,file2.txt

Can I do a <CFQUERY on the above SESSION variable and then do a sort ORDER BY and output the results?

<cfoutput>#right("/temp/dir1", 4)#</cfoutput> in the loop will take
"/temp/dir1" and output dir1

you will have to handle #i# if it changes format (as in file2.txt), but you
can use find again to do this

You can also do a query if you need to based on #i# within the loop

Subject: re: How can I sort a <cfloop results

I have two frames. the top frame display directories/files which the user
can click. When they click on a link the path and filename are sent and
displayed in the bottom frame.
Basically when a link is clicked the <A HREF reloads the bottom frame
displaying the directories/files.

Let's say the SESSION.item variable is equal to
"/temp/dir1,/temp/dir2,/temp/dir3,file1.txt,/temp/dir4,file2.txt"

Currently the above list displays "as-is". How can I sort the above with
directories displaying first?

Can I do a <CFQUERY on the "i" results and then do a ORDER BY somehow?

<CFOUTPUT>
<CFLOOP INDEX="i" LIST="#SESSION.item#>
#i#
</CFLOOP>
</CFOUTPUT>
