The Code
<?php

/* if order is not set, or it is not in the allowed
 * list, then set it to a default value. Otherwise,
 * set it to what was passed in. */

    $order = $default_sort;
} else {
    $order = $_GET['order'];
}

/* connect to db */

/* construct and run our query */

you are using mysql_fetch_assoc so you can use the ksort array function on $row li
