I've seen this type of question on the list (and answered) several times 
before... without any further info, the best thing I can recommend is to 
follow the example of column sorting techniqiues which are used in the 
UI.  Take a look at any of the UI "list" pages (all in 
VENDROOT/lib/UI/pages/admin/): item.html, order.html, etc.
