Search function of a database

Hi john,

Changing the sorting option might be trivial or it might be complex, and depends on how the current code queries the database - same applies to developing search functionality. Generally it's fairly easy to change the sort order if you want the new order to be the *only* order in which the data is displayed. But again, it depends on how your current developer has coded the query to retrieve the records from the DB.

You might also need to find out what rights you have (if any) regarding modification of the existing code by a third party developer.

Cheers,
Grant
