Hi eeryone,
Its been a while because school is just keeping me busy. I noticed some people wanted random order and I used Alex's code. It works fine but some people still had problems with it.. Anyways Here is my whole build_sort_hit sub routine
Start
------------------------
my (@unsorted) = @_;
my ($num) = ($#unsorted+1) / ($#db_cols+1);
my (%sortby, %isnew, %iscool, $hit, $i, @sorted);
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
$sortby{$i} = $unsorted[$db_sort_links + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))];
if ($unsorted[$db_isnew + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") { $isnew{$i} = 1; }
if ($unsorted[$db_ispop + ($i * ($#db_cols+1))] eq "Yes") { $iscool{$i} = 1; }
}
srand;
foreach $hit (sort { return int(rand(1) + 0.5) ? 1 : -1 } (keys %sortby)) {
$first = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $hit;
$last = ($hit * $#db_cols) + $#db_cols + $hit;
push (@sorted, @unsorted[$first .. $last]);
}
return @sorted;
}
----------------------
END!
Hope it helps,

I went to find the build_sorthit routine as well as the build_sort_hit routine in a text search in db.pl to find this so I could implement this mod, and it gave me a "text not found" on both of them. What needs to be replaced and where?
