I guess you know that changing :

 

<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[0]?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[1]?></td>

 

to:

 

<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[1]?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[0]?></td>

 

will swap the order of the columns. You don't need to change the SQL.

 

If I were you I'd make a function for order_1 and one for order_2, then call which ever one you need:

 

function order_1( $uRow )
{
?>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[0]?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[1]?></td>
... other 
... rows
... here
<?
}

function order_2( $uRow )
{
?>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[1]?></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC" class="text8"><?= $uRow[0]?></td>
... other 
... rows
... here
<?
}
?>

 

Then call which ever row inside the loop:

 

while($uRow = mysql_fetch_row($uResult))
{		
  if( $order == 1 )
    order_1( $uRow );
  else
    order_2( $uRow );
}

 

There are a lot of different ways of doing this kind of thing  :)
