This is my feeble attempt at the problem - but it does the job:
def index():
add_submenu()
headers = {'email.id': A('Id',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='id'))),
'email.email': A('Email address',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='email'))),
'email.active':A('Active',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='active'))),
'email.expires':A('Expires',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='expires'))),
'email.change_user':A('Changed by',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='change_user'))),
'email.change_date':A('Changed on',
_href=URL(vars=dict(orderby='change_date'))),
}
if 'email_orderby' not in session:
session.email_orderby = ['asc', 'email']
if 'orderby' in request.vars:
if session.email_orderby[1] == request.vars.orderby:
if session.email_orderby[0] == 'asc':
session.email_orderby[0] = 'desc'
else:
session.email_orderby[0] = 'asc'
else:
session.email_orderby = ['asc', request.vars.orderby]
key = db.email[session.email_orderby[1]]
if session.email_orderby[0] == 'asc':
emails = crud.select(db.email, headers=headers, orderby=key)
else:
emails = crud.select(db.email, headers=headers, orderby= ~key)
return dict(emails=emails)
I don't like it - it looks ugly. Who can make it look more elegant?
