Table sorting

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Hi,

I'm trying to modify the following in order to make the output table sorted alphabetically according to $event_name but so far have not succeeded. Any pointers?

Code: function display_all_events(){
global $wpdb;
$events_detail_tbl = get_option('events_detail_tbl');
$curdate = date("Y-m-d");
$paypal_cur = get_option('paypal_cur');

$sql = "SELECT * FROM ". $events_detail_tbl;

$result = mysql_query ($sql);

echo "<table width = '100%'>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result))
{
$event_id = $row['id'];
$event_name=$row['event_name'];
$event_identifier=$row['event_identifier'];
$cost=$row['event_cost'];
$active=$row['is_active'];

echo "<tr><td width='100%'>".$event_name." - ".$paypal_cur." ".$cost."</p><hr></td><td>";
echo "<form name='form' method='post' action='".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='regevent_action' value='register'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='event_id' value='".$row['id']."'>";
echo "<input type='SUBMIT' value='REGISTER'></form></td></tr>";

}
echo "</table>";
}

Am relatively new to php so please excuse me for posting stuff that may seem obvious to others but I really need to sort this out as the workaround is very time consuming...

Thanks
