Well, I figured it out. It took two queries.
Probably a better way I'm not thinking about, but this works in case anyone
needs/wants.
Was hoping to do it all in the SQL statement I guess.
$FieldGroups = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT Field_Group FROM
".table_name);
foreach($FieldGroups as $FieldGroup) {
$ReturnString .= '<h3>'.$FieldGroup->Field_Group.'</h3>';
$Fields = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM ".
table_name.' WHERE Field_Group=%s', $FieldGroup->Field_Group));
foreach($Fields as $i=>$Field) {
$ReturnString .= /*Other code to build html*/
}
}
return $ReturnString;
I am working on a WordPress site. Hence the $wpdb->get_results().
FYI, for those who aren't familiar.
Best,
