Search function of a database

[eluser]ozstar[/eluser]
Hi,

I have had a web page product update script written using CI.

In Admin it shows the categories and products which are in the mySQL db listed 12 to a page. Could end up being 50 pages of products.

Trouble is they are not in Alpha order and there is no search function so to find a product to change,add or delete one has to go page by page reading down everyn product to find the one you want.

It is totally unproductive.

The coder says it takes a lot of code to sort the list in Alpha and the search option is just off the radar.

I need to know if this is the case and if in fact it is easy enough for another coder to complete the job.

Thanks
