Trying to sort table results by headers...

[ccutla]

I am trying to be able to sort a table by the different column headings. The table is the result of a search of a mysql db and I have no idea how or where to start. Any suggestions???

Thanks a lot!

This is the results page of my search where I need the sort to happen:

php:


<center>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td width="60"><b>DT_STRING</b></td>
<td width="100"><b>ACCOUNT</b></td>
<td width="30"><b>ACCOUNT_TYPE</b></td>
<td width="150"><b>CLIENT_ID</b></td>
<td width="150"><b>USER_ID</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<? $hostname = "mysql"; // The Thinkhost DB server.
$username = "root"; // The username you created for this database.
$password = "rootroot"; // The password you created for the username.
$usertable = "AUDIT"; // The name of the table you made.
$dbName = "AUDITMED"; // This is the name of the database you made.

MYSQL_CONNECT($hostname, $username, $password) OR DIE("DB connection unavailable");
@mysql_select_db( "$dbName") or die( "Unable to select database");


//error message (not found message)begins
$XX = "No Record Found, to search again please close this window";

//query details table begins

$metode = $_POST['metode'];
$search = $_POST['search'];
$metode2 = $_POST['metode2'];
$search2 = $_POST['search2'];

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM AUDIT WHERE $metode LIKE '%$search%' AND $metode2 LIKE '%$search2%'");

while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$variable1=$row["DT_STRING"];
$variable2=$row["ACCOUNT"];
$variable3=$row["ACCOUNT_TYPE"];
$variable4=$row["CLIENT_ID"];
$variable5=$row["USER_ID"];
//table layout for results

print ("<tr>");
print ("<td>$variable1</td>");
print ("<td>$variable2</td>");
print ("<td>$variable3</td>");
print ("<td>$variable4</td>");
print ("<td>$variable5</td>");
print ("</tr>");
}
//below this is the function for no record!!
if (!$variable1)
{
print ("$XX");
}
//end
?>
</table>
</center>


Thanks again!
