1. Hello everyone, I am creating a script where user visits a page and there is data shown from a database, and user has the ability to sort it by different orders, whats the best way to do this so it's fast and less code to write.

2. Whats the best way to make login form so its fast and less code.

Sorry for writing in one post but I didn't want to spamm it.

1. Do it with a database query, and set the user's sort preference in their session. Add a where statement based on the session information.

2. Check out Ion Auth.
