<H2>Master Concert Listing Sorted by the

<!-- Issue the query, here we are
 selecting all records ("*") from the
 "listings" table, placing the results in
   a query handle called "q1".
   This query handle will be used below to display the data. -->
<! msql query "select * from listings order by $sortby" q1>

<!-- Let's put the data in a table, it looks nicer -->

<TABLE border=1>

<!-- Some simple header info for the table -->

<TR>
   <TH>SHOWDATE</TH>
   <TH>HEADLINER</TH>
   <TH>OPENING ACT</TH>
   <TH>LOCATION</TH>
   <TH>PRICE</TH>
</TR>

<!-- Here is where we have w3-msql display all the data retrieved from
   the query stored in the query handle "q1". Note the mixture of
   HTML and mSQL commands. Here, we are simply building a table "row"
    for every database "row" retrieved in the query. -->
