[FX.php List] Passing Data 101

[Stephen Knight 1-800-353-7950]

Hi Jonathan,


This would depend on how you are storing data in $query.  Try echoing $query
to the page to see what if anything you are actually storing there.  If you
are performing a sort on different pages then yes you will need to recreate
the initial query.
