Select Multiple Items Tables, Add to Cart, View Cart Later, Email Cart Contents

I've developed a webpage that displays the contents of my database. The user has 4 different views to look at, (View 1, View 2, View 3 and View All). In each of these views the user can select some rows, add the rows to a cart and continue browsing.

I know how to get what the user selected , but i don't know how to get what they selected, store their selection, allow them to continue surfing, store more rows, and then finally email the administrator their selections.

This is what i don't know how to do:

1. I do not know how to allow users to Sort Columns by clicking a Column Header.

2. I do not know how to allow user to select rows (via checkbox) and send the selections to a cart (structure i am assuming), continue browsing and add more items to cart.

3. I do not know how to have all the pages display how many items they have the the cart.

4. I do not know how to have user view cart and delete selections.

5. I do not know how to have user email their selections over to an email address that is stored in the same database (different table).

6. I do not know how to send html email to administrator.

To get a more concise picture of what i am attempting, please view the following

I think i want to use sessions for storing the information the user selected. Creating a new table could get big. Also, i want to stray away from users having to log in.
no the tables won't become big because, once the order is confirmed, delete the particular record from the table and so the table size will remain small..
