Good title huh?.Bet you know what this is about.. I was wondering how one can only show just a few database fields in the drop down list and not all of them when someone clicks the sort by drop down list under search options.

Yep. You'll have to make your own select field. The structure is
<OPTION>---
<OPTION value="field number">Field Name
</SELECT>
So, if you wanted people to be able to sort by
Name, which is field number 1
and
City, which is field number 4
you would use
<OPTION>---
<OPTION value="2">Name
<OPTION value="4">City
</SELECT>
Make sense?

Thanks JPdeni... It is much easier than I thought it would be and makes perfect sense.. I like to throw in the easy questions to give your massive brain a breather...
