Re: [WebDNA] sort parameters in search

texte = As for an example, right now I'm displaying images which are in various libr= aries, added to the site at regular intervals. When someone searches for a c= ategory, I want the results to be by date added, then file name (so they'll b= e in order). Unless the category is big feet. Then I want it to be by shoe s= ize, then date, then file name. A similar scenario plays out when you have sortable headings in a table, whe= n the same search is expected to sort differently under a number of conditio= ns. I realize after my previous email that programmatically it's not a numerical= thing but merely an instruction and sort1 etc are merely instructions, so m= aybe it's not that simple to change.
