How do you set the db up to display the results alphabeticly. I have a ID field for the key field and a name field which I would like to display in alphabetical order after a search.

Hi Keswick,
You can use sb=field_number to sort on a particular field. So if your field was 'Name' and it was in position 6, just add:
<input type=hidden name=sb value=6>
to your search form. It defaults to ascending order.
Cheers,
Alex

Ok I placed the following line in my sub html_view_search portion of my html.pl file:
<input type=hidden name="db" value="1">
the name of the field I want to sort with is called FName and is in postion 1. This line of code dosen't appear to do anything at all. The names still come up the same way that they were put in. What am I doing wrong?
