cgi sorting table

Hi guys,

I'm using Python to generate a cgi web page with a table. What I
want to do is able to sort the table when the user clicks on a table
header. I'm trying to avoid using DOM and instead just want to use python
to generate a new page. Any ideas?

Thanks

Just have the table header be a link that POSTs back to your cgi script
with the index of the column. You don't give a lot of information here,
but I'm guessing your table is generated from a Python list, so just use
the list's sort() method, then redisplay the page.

Regards,
Cliff
