Allow your code to accept the sort/filter variables as form or url
variables. For example, something like:
<CFPARAM NAME="URL.Sort" DEFAULT="">
<CFPARAM NAME="FORM.Sort" DEFAULT="#URL.Sort#">
<CFPARAM NAME="URL.Filter" DEFAULT="">
<CFPARAM NAME="FORM.Filter" DEFAULT="#URL.Filter#">
<CFQUERY NAME="GetRecords" DATASOURCE="#APPLICATION.DSN#">
SELECT
col1,
col2
FROM
table
<CFIF Len(Trim(FORM.Filter))>
WHERE
col1 = '#FORM.Filter#'
</CFIF>
<CFIF Len(Trim(FORM.Sort))>
ORDER BY #FORM.Sort#
</CFIF>
</CFQUERY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><A
HREF="currentPage.cfm?Filter=#FORM.Filter#&Sort=col1">Col1</A></TD>
<TD><A
HREF="currentPage.cfm?Filter=#FORM.Filter#&Sort=col2">Col2</A></TD>
</TR>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetRecords">
... display rows based on query ...
</CFOUTPUT>
</TABLE>
