Your approach is okay if you want to do in the same list.<br />
Anytime sorting is changed, the query is different so regardless, the query will be sent to the db and cached results won't be used.<br />
You can also duplicate the sort column and sort one asc another desc.<br />
Then use a conditional variable to render one depending upon the selection.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i HAVE TWO COLUMNS BRANCH CODE , STAFF CODE AND SALARIES OF STAFF. &nbsp;IN MY REPORT OUT PUT I HAVE TWO RADIO BUTTONS IN THE PROMPT FOR ASCENDING AND DESCENDING. SO WHEN I SELECT ASCENDING, MY REPORT SHOULD BE IN ASCENDING ORDER OF SALARY AND VICE VERSA WHEN I SELECT DESCENDING...<br />
<br />
I HAVE DONE IT BY CREATING A DATA ITEM..AND &nbsp;USING STATIC VALUES 1 AND -1... BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION...PLEASE SUGGEST AN OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS<br />
