Ok question. What would the best way for me to list two fields like this.

---------------------------------------
| Cat A | Cat B |
| link a1 | link b1 |
| link a2 | link b2.. |
| Cat C | Cat D |
| link c1 | link d1 |

and so on and so on.

the two boxes are cells in a row in a table.
the table that the links and cat are pulled from
look like this
Link Cat
a1 a
a2 a
b1 b
b2 b
and so on. how do i go from cell to cell and list the cats in
alpha order and then list each link that goes with the cat directly under that?


-----note---
I think i can do this will a
GetRows(,,Array("Cat", "Ltitle","LID","trackerlink"))

and i have figured out how i can list the getrows using Mod 2
but i still cant figure out how i can list 1 Cat and multiple Ltitle's under each Cat?

Return your recordset sorted by Category and then by Link. Then, in your ASP code, do standard Break Logic. In other words, loop through your array, and on each loop do something like

If LastCat = ThisCat Then
'Put link in this cell
Else
'Close Cell, open next cell, put link in there
End
LastCat = ThisCat
