How to change the sorting type from our web using PHP?

<?php
session_start();

$edition = $_GET['edition'];
$description = $_GET['description'];
$category_id = $_GET['category_id'];
$country_id = $_GET['country_id'];
$city_id = $_GET['city_id'];
$year = $_GET['year'];
$firstdate = $_GET['firstdate'];
$lastdate = $_GET['lastdate'];
$status_id = $_GET['status_id'];
$source = $_GET['source'];
$remark = $_GET['remark'];
$sort_field = $_GET['sort_field'];
$sort_type = $_GET['sort_type'];

We would like to sort the items by CATEGORY then COUNTRY then by CITY.

You would need to change the contents of the $sort_field and $sort_type variables, or change the ORDER BY clause on line 264.  Please post the CREATE TABLE statement for the category table and tell us which column you want to sort by.

Please run a query to SHOW CREATE TABLE and post the output here.  Then we can see the table definition.  Once we see that we can probably show you how to write the ORDER clause.

Hello to you again!

Would it be possible to show me how to run a query to show create table?

As I'm new with this database, specially with MySql db...

Actually, I'm just continuing the other changes/additionals that the designer of this website did. The person who creates this web left already so I need to handle it...

Thank you!
