Hi All:

    I've read the comments / suggestions made by all oy you and appreciate 
them.

    After sleeping on this problem last nite, I've decided to do *both* 
methods:

    Server:
        I will add  a datetime field to my current database, then Seek Last 
on the database for the set of records belonging to my client, then skip 
backwards thru the dbf and then populate the table and send the page.

    Client:
        I will add a button to the page to allow the clent to reverse the 
rows of the table as he wishes (i.e., 'flick' them back and forth as much as 
he wants).

        To Thomas:  I'm interested in knowing about 'reversing the nodes' in 
your earlier post. Can you amplify please ?


btw,  I only have room to show about 5 rows of the table (in lower 
right-hand corner of the page) without scrolling, and the user will be 
taking other button actions elsewhere to cause the addition / deletion of 
rows from this table. Each time he does so (with a .submit() ), I rebuild 
the page (and  the three *other* tables on this page) and send back the 
modifications to this table.

Thanks to all !

(another btw,  my database system *does have* a datetime field type (Type 
'T') which I'll use to serialize the set of records while building table 
rows at server.  But my user may well wish to reverse them again at the 
client end.)
