I’ve got an html table set up displaying MySQL data with a dropdown that allows you to choose whether to sort the data by Subgroup, Name or Partner. You can see it [URL=”http://myklwebs.com/myklmecha/database/g1sort.php”]here
What I would like to do is add sort options like ‘sort by Subgroup then Name’ but I don’t know how to do this. I know what php code to use achieve this in an un-sortable page but I don’t know how to put that into a dropdown. I don’t even know what keywords to use to search online! Can this code be edited to add some combined sort options or do I need totally different code?
Here’s the code I’m using:
[code=php]
<?php include(‘config.php’);
$query = “SELECT * FROM TransformersLog WHERE Series = ‘Generation 1’ Order By Faction”;
$res = mysql_query($query);
?>
