It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = If you are using WebDNA 5, you can append the found brand names into a [table], then search the table with alphabetical sorting to build your menu. Under WebDNA 4, you can do the same by writing to a temporary db and then searching and sorting that. But my preferred way, which would work in both environments and doesn't require the table or temp db overhead is this: [text]tBrandList=[/text] [search db=admin/products.db...BRANDsumm=T&rank=off][founditems] [text]tBrandList=[tBrandList] [BRAND][/text] [/founditems][/search] .... you now have a list of all the BRAND IDvalues in the text variable [tBrandList]. Search the brand.db for all these IDs with alpha sorting... - brian On Friday, September 12, 2003, at 04:32 AM, Alan White wrote: > Hi > > I have a menu that I need to sort alphabetically.
