Well, if you're connected to a database, you can put in the corresponding table name and sort on that column. The link in the table header would have something like this in the URL: MyPage.jsp?sort=UserName
...and then your SQL would say: sSQL += "SELECT col1,col2,col3,UserName,Address \n"; sSQL += "FROM mytable \n"; sSQL += "ORDER BY " + request.getParameter("sSQL") + "\n"; thanks! ~ Troy Campano ~ -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Renato Eschini Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 6:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sorting column in a html table Some one know a pattern or mecchanism for sorting column in a html table?
