results in alphabetical order
Greetings!

I have a somewhat stupid questions:
I'm using JPDeni's short/long mod. Does anyone know how to set it up so the results come up in alphabetical order?

Thanks in advance ;)

All you need to do is tell DBMan which field and what order to sort on.

You can do this via hidden fields (for search forms, etc):
<input type="hidden" name="sb" value="FIELD_NUMBER_TO_SORT_BY">
<input type="hidden" name="so" value="ascend">

Or in your links (to "List All" etc):
<a href="$db_script_link_url&view_records=1&$db_key=*&sb=FIELD_NUMBER&so=ascend">

You can also change ascend to descend for reverse order.
