    <p>I have tasks that have tags in this format:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [task_id] =&gt; 10, [task_text] =&gt; Mow and fertilize, [tags] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 1, [tag_text] =&gt; House, [tt_tag_id] =&gt; 1, //from relational table, tt = task_tag [tt_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 20, //auto id from relational table [tt_order] =&gt; 0 ), [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 2, [tag_text] =&gt; Yard, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 2, [task_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 21, [tt_order] =&gt; 1 ) [2] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 5, [tag_text] =&gt; Lawn, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 5, [task_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 22, [tt_order] =&gt; 2 ) ) ) [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [task_id] =&gt; 11, [task_text] =&gt; Unclog the sink drain, [tags] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 1, [tag_text] =&gt; House, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 1, [task_task_id] =&gt; 11 [tt_id] =&gt; 30, [tt_order] =&gt; 0 ), [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 3, [tag_text] =&gt; Kitchen, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 3, [task_task_id] =&gt; 11, [tt_id] =&gt; 31, [tt_order] =&gt; 1 ) ) ) [2] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [task_id] =&gt; 12, [task_text] =&gt; Purchase new microwave, [tags] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 4, [tag_text] =&gt; Apartment 1, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 4, [task_task_id] =&gt; 12 [tt_id] =&gt; 40, [tt_order] =&gt; 0 ), [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 3, [tag_text] =&gt; Kitchen, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 3, [task_task_id] =&gt; 12, [tt_id] =&gt; 41, [tt_order] =&gt; 1 ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to sort the tasks by the tags like this:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 1, [task_text] =&gt; House, [child_tags] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 2, [tag_text] =&gt; Yard, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 2, [task_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 21, [child_tags] =&gt; Array ( [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 5, [tag_text] =&gt; Lawn, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 5, [task_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 22, [task_id] =&gt; 10, [task_text] =&gt; Mow and fertilize ) ), [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 3, [tag_text] =&gt; Kitchen, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 3, [task_task_id] =&gt; 11, [tt_id] =&gt; 31, [task_id] =&gt; 11, [task_text] =&gt; Unclog the sink drain, ) ) ) [1] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 4, [tag_text] =&gt; Apartment 1, [child_tags] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; stdClass Object ( [tag_id] =&gt; 2, [tag_text] =&gt; Kitchen, [task_tag_id] =&gt; 2, [task_task_id] =&gt; 10, [tt_id] =&gt; 21, [task_id] =&gt; 12, [task_text] =&gt; Purchase new microwave ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>Ultimately what I am shooting for is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;House&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;Kitchen&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt;Unclog the sink drain&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;Yard&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;Lawn&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt;Mow and fertilize&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;Apartment 1&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;lh&gt;Kitchen&lt;/lh&gt; &lt;li&gt;Purchase new microwave&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>The database is exactly how you imagine. A task table and a tag table with a n2n relational table.</p> <p>There doesn't appear to be a simple way to loop through the tasks and tags to sort them in this manner. Should I try different approach? Is this silly?</p>

    1. COI don't see any parent/child references for tags, so how are you supposed to get them in a hierarchy like that? Also, the `<lh>` item is not in the HTML spec, so avoid it.

    2. COAt first I was trying to order by the tt_id which isn't really what that is for..so I added a tt_order column, this is the order in which the tags are associated with the task. I might be getting close to my own solution after adding this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
