Question

I have a video gallery where the data is coming from a mysql database.
I would like to give an option to sort the gallery in different ways: title, lecturer, date etc.

The first solution the comes into my mind is that when the user selects the different sort options (using option buttons) through ajax I would get the sorted data again from the databse and display using innerHTML.

Is this a good solution, is there any other nicer way to do this and avoid the database go-between?

I have to mention that the data is not in table format, each video is in it’s own div. therefore would not be able to use the jquery tablesorter

Thanks

Answer 1

I think the only way to sort is to use database. There is no way in my knowledge to sort div.
So use ajax to sort.
