Re: [mv] sorting help



******    message to minivend-users from Brian Kosick <briank@nacs.net>     ******

I love you man, where do I send the beer??

The site was using the results.html page from the demo catalog, removing 
the sort tags in it took care of it real good.

BTW
0 works for me, code doesn't as I renamed that field to "sku"

and for more FYI, here's my working URL search

http://www.diabeticexpress.com/cgi-bin/dexpress.cgi/scan/fn=products:name/tf=name/to=f/sf=products:category,products:manufacturer/se=Cough,Hi-Tech/
