There's a couple of ways you could do this...

- search zend.com and other PHP sites for something similar :)

- pick up Joe Celko's "SQL for Smarties" which talks about building trees
and graphs in SQL (which is what this is)... this can get kind of
complicated though.

or...


- modify your table so that every row has a threadID as well as a
parentID.

- change your query so that you select all the rows that have a given
threadID.

- use something like the code here for "sorting".

good luck!
