Lightbulb Select Distinct Command

I have a database with the following values:

Item A, Boa, Snakes
Item B, Boa, Snakes
Item C, Boa, Snakes
Item D, Python, Snakes
Item E, Python, Snakes
Item F, Collubrid, Snakes

I want the output to look like this though:

Snakes
--> Boas
--------> Item A
--------> Item B
--------> Item C
--> Pythons
--------> Item D
--------> Item E
--> Collubrid
--------> Item F

How do I structure this in CFML to give me this output?

Re: Select Distinct Command

Use CFOUTPUT with the GROUP attribute:

PHP Code:
<cfoutput query="myQuery" group="animalType">
#animalType#<br>
 
<cfoutput group="animalName">
 
#animalName#<br>
   
<cfoutput>
   
#itemNo#<br>
   
</cfoutput>
 </
cfoutput>
</
cfoutput


You could also do this manually with nested loops, as you would have to do with PHP. But the group attribute makes it much easier.
