I am reposting part of my earlier post in the tech support forum per moderator’s suggestion:
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/55547/
what i am looking for is the following:
1) i like to create a table with the columns headers: gallery category name, the number of images in the category, total number of views from all the images of that category, date of first image entered, date of last image entered.
2) the table will list in each row the values for these columns for each gallery category.
3) i like to use the post method to allow user to choose to sort dynamically (in either descending or ascending) the list by any one of these column headers. i like to use the post method as i do not want to use any additional segments in the URL to pass on a variable for the sorting. i don’t want to create extra URLs that can confuse search engines which see these contents as essentially duplicates.
the above is akin to the ability dynamically sort the weblog entries by date, number of views, entry title, and so on by using the post method.
much appreciate if you can give me some insight in how to do this (esp given i am a complete php newbie)?
