Sort data results

Question

How to sort data query result each time one clicks sort
button ...sort by name,date,etc

Answer 1

Say for instance you would like to out put the emails,
fullname and city. Want to sort by each header.
<cfparam name="sort" default="fullname asc">
<cfquery name="whatever' datasource="yoursource">
select *
from tbl
order by #sort#
</cfquery>
<!---- using U for ascending and D for descending order
---->
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Full Name <a href="page.cfm?sort=fullname
asc">U</a> | <a href="page.cfm?sort=fullname
desc">D</a>
</td>
<td>
Email <a href="page.cfm?sort=email asc">U</a> |
<a href="page.cfm?sort=email desc">D</a>
</td>
<td>
City <a href="page.cfm?sort=city asc">U</a> |
<a href="page.cfm?sort=city desc">D</a>
</td>
</tr>
<cfquery query="whatever">
<tr>
<td>#fullname#
</td>
<td>#email#
</td>
<td>#city#
</td>
</tr>
</table>
So when the user clicks on Full Nam U it will send the sort
value to the query and so forth.
Hope this helps,
