QTP webpage retrieval

I have a webpage. When I click on the Home button I get the list of various clients. And when I click one of the client it takes to a to asp page with the complete client info. In QTP can I some how automate this process of retrieving the final client info? Any ideas..

After I retrieve the webpage I need to more testing on the page. The page I retrieve is in tabular format. So I need to check whether two columns in the page are sorted or not. Could you suggest which technique would be better to use for the retrieval?

To check if a table is sorted, you either need to work with a static set of testdata (so you know what to expect if the list is sorted).
Or use a lot of programming where you capture all the values of the two columns, sort it yourself using a sorting mechanism (like http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/sort-array.htm) and then comparing the sorted array to the array you got from the AUT.

Ok. I am completely new to QTP or VBscript. So I need some more clarification. I can't use the static test data. Then I need to first retrieve the webpage then work on the columns. So would the webpage retrieval be better when I retrieve it in form of webtable rather than bitmap because of additional processing. Please advise.

I tried recording the information till the asp page. But here the tester could select any of the clients. How would I modify the test case to pick up the client name and display the corresponding complete info.
