Quick pseudo-code that I've used in the past:
Find the column split point -- ceiling ( recordcount/2 )
Loop
Output item n in col 1
If item n+split point exists
Output item n + split point in col 2
End if
End loop
You may have to tweak slightly, but that should give you 2 columns
where column 2 is the second half of your query results. The
ceiling() function should serve to make column 1 larger than column 2
if the recordcount is an odd number.
Hope that makes sense and gets you a little closer to what you're looking for.
