If you are using form submit buttons to trigger the ascending order (which it looks like you are doing) just keep the original search criteria in a hidden field and reuse it. Or even a visible text field so the user can change it slightly AND have the new results sorted ascending. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. Bobby Hartsfield http://acoderslife.com
-----Original Message----- From: Orlini, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 3:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Sort records w/same search How do I do a sort on records that already have been searched and are displayed? I have a button that's called "ascend" and when clicked I want it to sort the selected records displayed but it sorts and displays the entire record count. For example on the search on lname it finds 7 records. In the display screen for those 7 records I want to sort them and the cfif isdefind takes care of that but of course it doesn't know the #form.lname# of the initial search and sorts through and displays all records. I guess I use a variable of some sort? Sorry its been a while. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Robert O. Here is the code: <cfquery name="Getpc" datasource="pc_inventory"> SELECT * FROM inventory where 0 = 0 <CFIF IsDefined("FORM.lname") and form.lname NEQ ""> And lname LIKE '#FORM.lname#%' </CFIF> <CFIF IsDefined("form.ascend.x")> Order by pcname desc <CFELSE> Order By ID DESC </cfif> </cfquery> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
