cfquery name=”getLocations” datasource=”MyDSN”>
select * as
(SELECT ‘1′ as firstsort,’Corporate Posting (Waco, TX)’ as lookupdisplay, -99 as franchiseeeid)
Union
(SELECT ‘2′ as firstsort, franchiseeName + ‘ (’ + city + ‘, ‘ + stateProvince + ‘)’ AS lookupdisplay, franchiseeid AS lookupkey
FROM franchisee)
ORDER BY lookupdisplay

Bit of a hack, but maybe you could've made the db to do all the work?


SELECT franchiseeName + ' (' + city + ', ' + stateProvince + ')' AS lookupdisplay, franchiseeid AS lookupkey
FROM franchisee     

UNION ALL

SELECT 'Corporate Posting (Waco, TX)' as bla, -99 as bla_two
ORDER BY lookupdisplay

I would have added a column called row number and numbered all the rows starting with 2 through the end of the query after I ordered the query. Then i would have added my row with a row id of 1. Then I would have used a QOQ to re-order the query based on the rowid column that I added.

My knowledge of CF is rather limited, but how about something like this:


<cfquery name="getLocations" datasource="MyDSN">
     SELECT franchiseeName + ' (' + city + ', ' + stateProvince + ')' AS lookupdisplay, franchiseeid AS lookupkey
     FROM franchisee
     ORDER BY lookupdisplay
</cfquery>

<cfset getLocationsArray = QueryToArrayOfStructures(getLocations)>
<cfset corporate = StructNew()>
<cfset corporate.lookupdisplay = 'Corporate Posting (Waco, TX)'>
<cfset corporate.lookupkey = -99>
<cfset ArrayPrepend(getLocationsArray, corporate)>
<cfset getLocations = ArrayOfStructuresToQuery(getLocationsArray)>
