   Sorry, I'm afraid there is no easy way to sort the entries yet.
   At this moment, you can do this by exporting the entries into excel file and sort it there.

   I just figured out a way to sort the data, and it is pretty easy. Now I can just click on a column heading to sort that field, and click again to sort in the reverse order. I'll paste my code real quick. I've done some other modifications so I can't give you line numbers since they'll be wrong. I'll paste what I have, and you should be able to find it pretty easily.

   In file manage_entries.php:

   Look for this code (I have bolded what I changed):

   //print table header
   foreach ($column_label as $table_header){
   if($table_header['name'] == 'id'){
   echo '<th scope="col" class="me_action">'.$table_header['label'].'</th>';
   }elseif ($table_header['name'] == 'row_num'){
   echo '<th scope="col" class="me_number">'.$table_header['label'].'</th>';
   }else{
   <em>if ($order == "desc") { $reverse = "asc"; } else { $reverse = "desc";}
   if ($sort == $table_header['name']) { $sortid = "sortfield"; } else { $sortid = "sort"; }
   echo '<th scope="col" id="'.$sortid.'"><div>'.$table_header['label'].'</div></th>'; </em>
   }

   then change where the query is formed:

   <em> if (!isset($sort)) $sort="id";
   if (!isset($order)) $order="desc";
   </em>
   $field_list = implode(',',$column_prefs);
   <em>
   $query = "select id,id as row_num,{$field_list} from ap_form_{$form_id} order by $sort $order $limit";
   </em>

   I tried to bold my section and it didn't work. Everything between the "" tags is what I changed.

   Can you make this a little clearer? I could definitely use it.

   I think my problem is in the query section. Maybe I am not setting it up right. Perhaps you could include more of the code for this section so I can see how to add it and where?

   About the tags -- omit them? Include them?

   Thanks.

   Thanks for this post - very exciting.

   I did find one issue in the code - you need to remove the from the top section of code as it's not supposed to be there - it was falsely translated by the help forum.
   However, as a novice at PHP, could you post a little more detail as to where the code under "Then change where the query is formed" is supposed to go? I'm having a hard time figuring out where the query should be inserted into the code.

   Thanks.

   I'd like to buy this script, but this solution works?
