How would you go about giving the user the ability to sort through a table ascending and descending that has been produced through classic asp. If I could get a simple example or a guide that would help a lot.

I have the following code that I’m looking to improve:

<body onmousedown="browser()" onkeydown="return checkCtrlIns(this)">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="scans-cell" valign="top">
<%
'response.Write tmpRows(0)
tmpHd1 = split(tmpRows(0),"=")
hdVals = split(tmpHd1(1),":")
howManyCols = Ubound(hdVals)+1
Redim dstrVals(howManyCols-2,41)

For k = 0 to howManyCols-3
    dstrVals(k,41) = 0
Next

tblWidth = 244+((howManyCols-2)*41) '10col 563px

    elseif i = 1 then
        response.Write "<td class=""close-hd"" valign=""bottom"">" & hdVals(i) & "</td>" & vbnewline

        dstrVals(i-2,0) = hdVals(i)

I would strongly recommend that you would use TableSorter jQuery plugin.

You would have all out of the box, though you need to send all rows, or create a new file that only outputs the JSON data of the table and use the TableSorter methods to load data from JSON automatically.
