This is more of a conceptual question. Has anyone emulated Excel's column filter behavior with classic ASP? I have an ASP page that can return up to 500 rows of data and I'm getting requests from users that would like to filter the data similar to the way Excel can filter.

Thanks,

So where is that much data COMING from??? Surely it's coming from a database or Excel sheet, already, no? So why not do the filtering at that level, using SQL???

But yeah, you *can* use a disconnected recordset and apply a filter to it, for example. Not convinced that it is a good idea for most things, but it can be useful.

Yes, you are correct sir. I'm doing some sorting now with some VB code, but it's not very efficient.

Depending on how complex the filter operations you need, you could possibly do this all in JavaScript in the browser.
