I am a new user of frontpage and just learning. Sorry in advance for the
simplistic question.

I want to create a web page that lists events in rows with data (eg. date,
organization, title, location) There could be 100 events listed.

What is the easiest way to allow the user to sort the events by column (eg.
click date header and events sort by date).

I'm not familuar with using a database, so I wouldn't mind manually posting
the events in a table format but would like the user to sort the data by the
columns.

Where should I start? Do I need to use a database or can this be done
within the html code?
 
One approach for you (based on the fact that I assume you
are not a techie by nature) would be to create sorted
tables based on each column and put these in separate web
pages. You would have one web page that would show the
events sorted by date, one by organization, etc.

These could then be accessed by your site visitor by
clicking on hyperlinks you add to the web page your
visitors will first come to.

Anything else I could think of to solve your problem
would involve the use of a database.
 
Thanks, This is a simple solution I can do now, until I learn more.
