    <p>Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have created a questionnaire, there are multiple results (displayed as a %) outputted from the questionnaire. I am able to get these results displayed on a results.php page, along with the corresponding name ($careername) and corresponding link ($link). E.g. I have 5 results which each link to a corresponding career and link and these are displayed on the results.php page. However I need the result, careername and link to display in descending order of the result value. As of now they are displaying in random order. Below is the code I am working with, if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful. </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $careername1 = 'Nursing '; $careername2 = 'Footballer '; $careername3 = 'Dentist '; $careername4 = 'Hairdressing '; $careername5 = 'IT '; ?&gt; &lt;?php $link1 = '&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/explore-by-career/nursing/" target="_blank"&gt;More information on Nursing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;'; $link2 = '&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="#" target="_blank"&gt;More information on Footballing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt; &lt;/br&gt;'; $link3 = '&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="#" target="_blank"&gt;More information on Dentistry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;'; $link4 = '&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="#" target="_blank"&gt;More information on Hairdressing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;'; $link5 = '&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="#" target="_blank"&gt;More information on IT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;'; ?&gt; &lt;?php $nursing = array($careername1, $result1, "% ", $link1); $footballer = array($careername2, $result2, "% ", $link2); $dentist = array($careername3, $result3, "% ", $link3); $hairdresser = array($careername4, $result4, "% ", $link4); $IT = array($careername5, $result5, "% ", $link5); ?&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Your results are listed below:&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;?php $items = array("$nursing", "$footballer", "$dentist", "$hairdresser", "$IT"); arsort($items); foreach ($items as $key =&gt; $val) { echo "$key = $val\n"; } ?&gt; </code></pre>

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.
