Possible...but with the number of columns I have...and number of different screens that would be a mess of conditional logic...and I'm a lazy mofo. ;-)

Joe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Stacy Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 6:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ORDER BY and UPPER() I've got a particular query in which I'd like to have the ORDER BY clause dynamic so that I can pass it into my CFC as an argument. Piece of cake except for a minor detail. If the order by column is a string I need to use UPPER() in order for it to be ordered properly...and contrary to that, if I use UPPER() and the column is numeric it gets casted to a string !! Catch 22. There may be a simple solution...anyone have a suggestion? Using Oracle. ThX!
