Subject:  Re: Ideas on how to include sort headers?
As you can see, the link points back to the fwx file.  When it receives such a request, your script should re-create the page, sorted by the field specified in 'sort=xxxx'.

does it make the fwx call itself again?

You can turn the headers into links that point back to the same fwx file, but pass an additional query string field back to the server.  For example:
 
<a href="myList.fwx?filter=XXX&sort=status">STATUS</a>
 
Obviously this requires a round trip to the server, but in most cases this is how it is done.  I have seen sorting performed on the client, but it involved the use of advanced JavaScript, XML and XSLT techniques.  The client-side technique involves more work than the server-side method and it does not work with all browsers.

I want to be able to  include clickable sort header titles to my output. So if a user gets results returned like you see here
 
              STATUS          NOUN                        CUST      OFFICE          EDD              JOB          PRICE

I want them to be able to click on STATUS header and it will sort the data by status.
Easily done?
