                      | I have asked this question before but can't find the answer so sorry  
 At the moment the active users at the bottom of the page are not in any kind of order, can someone please tell me how to display the names in alphabetical order?
 
 I know it’s quite easy to do, but I don’t remember how it’s done.
 
 Cheers

                      | You'll have to change the select statement which retrieves the names.  I think this is the one (haven't tested it).  In "inc_activeusers.asp", look for the following lines:
strSql = "SELECT ME.MEMBER_ID, ME.M_NAME, ME.M_AUHIDE, ME.M_LEVEL, ME.M_LAST_IP, ME.M_IP " & _
         "FROM " & strTablePrefix & "ACTIVE_USERS AU, " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS ME " & _
         "WHERE AU.MEMBER_ID = ME.MEMBER_ID"
Change them to say:
strSql = "SELECT ME.MEMBER_ID, ME.M_NAME, ME.M_AUHIDE, ME.M_LEVEL, ME.M_LAST_IP, ME.M_IP " & _
         "FROM " & strTablePrefix & "ACTIVE_USERS AU, " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS ME " & _
         "WHERE AU.MEMBER_ID = ME.MEMBER_ID ORDER BY ME.M_NAME ASC"

                      | Well strange thing is, it does show the names in alphabetical order in the active users page, but it doesnt show it at the bottom of the forum.

                      | Post a link to a copy of your "inc_activeusers.asp" in .txt format for us. 
 BTW, your login info is actually all small letters.

                      | OK - I see the problem.  You made the change to the wrong file.  That is "active_users.asp" and the change needs to be made to "inc_activeusers.asp" |
