Well I'm able to do that, there are only 4 different types, but the 4
queries have exactly the same syntax so I think it's better to combine them.
Not?

Perhaps it is just me, but wouldn't it be easier to make individual
mysql queries for each different act type? That would make the sorting
-much- easier. I'm not sure if that's an option, but if it is, I'd
consider exploring it.

select * from activities where act_date >= NOW() && act_type_id = 1

or something of that nature.
