Hmm. Some interesting thoughts here. I can't use the queries as part of the problem is that the results for different queries can be the same. Although its only implied these are lists of Prefix=>Zone Assignments for customers. So two customers may have the same assigments. I think instead of merging the lists. (which isnt that terrible an idea BTW) I might actually rework the way the queries are executed so I can do the union of the four in a single query and let the DB sort it. The last idea certainly is an interesting approach to avoiding the shuffle.

Thanks for the brainfood. :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
