If you're only ordering strings then the ideas suggested earlier should
work. If your query returns a ResultSet with mixed data types (string, date,
integer, float, etc) and you want to be able to sort according to any of
these data types at run time (sort by date for example) then none of these
solutions will work. Let me know if this is the problem you're trying to put
across. There is a solution but it's rather complicated for newbies.

Basically it's needed to re-order a query pulled for the DB
The same query is pulled back again & again the only difference being order,
So want to cache the query first time and just reorder to output
I'll try a few of thing suggested
