Whoa, that's a dandy little query!

I see you've got "from table"... the cities are
pulled from a properties table via
"select distinct city from properties"

I guess I could use a QoQ in place of the table
as the datasource.

However, you mentioned that your query would
"tack the prior cities onto the end" and I would
prefer to keep the selected cities in the order
they are naturally and reduce the chance of confusing
the user.

It may be that the only way I can do this without jQuery
would be to run a query that returns the names of the
cities selected and then place them on top.  Then run
another query to get all the cities in order.  (Which
seems to be what your single query does, too, Greg).
Usually, I put the selected item in a single select
on top and then list the rest, including the selected
item again after that.

Guess that would work ok.
