Is there a way to group output in a query and keep the groups together,
but with no order specified anywhere?
<cfquery>
Select myGROUP, mySubGROUP from myTABLE
<!---(NO ORDER BY)--->
</cfquery
I need output like:
1. myGROUP
a. mySUBGOUP 1
b. mySUBGOUP 2
2. myGROUP 2
a. mySUBGOUP 1
b. mySUBGOUP 2
If you just do the below, it doesn't keep the groups together since
they're not together in the database...
<cfoutput group="myGROUP">
1. myGROUP
a. mySUBGOUP 1
b. mySUBGOUP 2
</cfoutput>
Outputs (depending on what's in the database)
1. myGROUP
a. mySUBGOUP 1
2. myGROUP 2
a. mySUBGOUP 1
b. mySUBGOUP 2
1. myGROUP
b. mySUBGOUP 2
If I add a ORDER to the query, it obviously works - but, the client
doesn't WANT them in any order. He just wants the groups together.
I say you can't have it both ways. You have to have a sort order to keep
the groups together. Or is there a weird work around for this?
Yea - stupid I know, but clients want what they want...
