cheers dan,

 

if i wanted to order the array of a database, and order the meta tag of description will that also work with your posted code.

 

what it is dan, i am creating a add link, web site and i want to show all the added web sites in order of a-z of the description name.

The above snippet strips all spaces from a string and then sorts it. It'll work for any array you feed it. For database rows you'd probably want to sort it in the query.

Can you kindly post a example mate.

sorry and thank you for your time.

SELECT foo FROM bar ORDER BY baz;

[redarrow]

Thank you.

is it also passable to order two rows as one statement mate. so sorry.

SELECT description,title FROM metatags ORDER BY description AND ORDER by title;

[Daniel0]

That would be ORDER BY description, title.
