$query = "SELECT DISTINCT names 
          FROM $table 
	  Order by names"; 
$result = mysql_query($query); 
 
So.... :-) 
 
In the above code, 'Order by' works very well when not used in 
conjunction with other queryable items but how about when used in a 
query where other possible choices are included?  How do I use 'Order 
by' in the query below where it will only act on 'names' when "All" is 
selected and otherwise, not really be active during the query as in 
the code below?  Any thoughts?  TIA 
 
 
$query = "SELECT * 
          FROM $table 
	  WHERE 1 = 1 "; 
	  if($year != "All") $query .= "and year = '".$year."'"; 
	  if($status != "All") $query .= "and status = '".$status."'"; 
	  if($names != "All") $query .= "and names = '".$names."'"; 
$result = mysql_query($query);
