Use an array instead of a list.

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

  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

  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>
