Displaying data in three columns

[stew1]

Hi,

I am displaying a large dataset in three columns - alphabetically from left to right. Easy start a counter if the modulus of the counter when divided by is 0 then close the current row with a </tr> and start a new one with a <tr>

I would like the data to read alphabetically from top to bottom instead, does anybody have any idea how this can be achieved.

Cheers

Stew

Easiest way I can think of is to have nested html tables.

<table>
<tr><td>
<table>
<tr><td>element</td></tr>
</table></td></tr>

etc etc
You can figure out how many elements to put in each column by simply dividing the total number of rows by the desired number of columns
