I am a bit confused about this thread... It is not clear to me the relation between these rows
> > result_a = db().select(db.sometable.ALL) > > result_b = db().select(db.othertable.ALL) if there is a relation between the records of one and the records of the other there should be a JOIN in the select. If the two tables have the same table structure you can merge them with rows=(result_a|result_b).sort(...) and display with SQLTABLE(rows,headers='fieldname:capitalize') In general you can customize the field presentation with db.table.field.represent=lambda value: f(value) for an f of your choice.
