Let's say I have a long list of names. I've pulled this list of names from the database, and I want to alphabetize them and split them into separate pages basd on that. I have idea as to how to do it for letters a-z, but how would I do it for names that start with special characters?

If you want to display them in alphabetical order why you worrying about special characters? And Strange, this is the first time I heard about "Names with Special Characters"! are you talking about some kind of user names?

I should have made myself clearer. I want each letter of the alphabet to have its own page, with just words beginning with that letter on that page. That I've already figured out how to do, using query_string and everything. But now, if I want to check names that begin with a special character like let's say a bracket, I have to do file.php?[. And of course, that only shows the names beginning with "[". I want one page for all words beginning with ANY special character. How would I achieve that?
And no, these are not user names.

This may be a stupid question, but what is the easiest way to sort a mysql
resultset?
For example I have a resulset containing a colomn 'product_name_english' and
'product_name_french' and want to sort the result on one of these colums
based on a language parameter.
I know how to do this in a query ("ORDER BY") but how can I do this after
the query has been executed?

Hi All,
I am a newbie to MySQL and Python. At the first place, I would like to
know what are the general performance issues (if any) of using MySQL
with Python.
By performance, I wanted to know how will the speed be, what is the
memory overhead involved, etc during database specific operations
(retrieval, update, insert, etc) when MySQL is used with Python.

By default in more recent versions, Access forms keep users' last sort
request in the "orderby" property. That can slow things down
considerably, especially when the last user has chosen a non-indexed
field.
I have put in a lot of
OrderBy = ""
code in OnOpen form events. Being able to disable that "service"
(seems like more and more Microsoft insists on helping when we don't

Hi there,
After spending several hours trying all I could imagine and search for in

if one clicks again on the same header. No problem so far, all works well
for one column. Now I want to sort on the first choosen column ASC or DESC
and additionally on a second column ASC.

The following code is used in my db to change the sort order of the
report to various fields. I want to take this one stage further and
use maybe a Case Select to give 2 or 3 different options to sort the
report.
Is ther any way I can adress the report name as is used in strDocName
and strSQL so instead of having
Reports!.OrderBy = strSQL

I should be able to figure this one out, but it's late:
I'm trying to sort a report by two fields. I can do it easily if I
hard-code the fields. However, I want to get user input and store the
input in variables, which would then be used in the OrderBy method.
Right now it looks like this and is not working:
rptMember.OrderBy = strfield1, strfield2
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
I really need some advice on fine-tuning a stored procedure
that is the meat of the search logic on my site. Customers
are allowed to save searches, which dumps the search logic
in a table called SavedSearches for later access to the search.
My problem started with the ORDERBY condition used for zipcode
searches. The condition did something like:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
