SpinyMan,

Excellent! That was what I was looking for.

Below is a slightly different version. Both are useful.

<table>
<tr>
<td>
{$lng.lbl_sort_by}:
<select name="sort_by" ONCHANGE="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" >
{foreach from=$sort_fields key=name item=field}
{if $navigation_page > 1}{assign var="cur_url" value=$url|cat:"page="|cat:$navigation_page|cat:"& amp;sort="|cat:$name|cat:"&amp;sort_direction="}
{else}{assign var="cur_url" value=$url|cat:"sort="|cat:$name|cat:"&amp;sort_di rection="}
{/if}
<option value="{$cur_url}1" {if $name eq $selected && $direction eq 1}selected="selected"{/if}>{$field} (UP)</option>
<option value="{$cur_url}0" {if $name eq $selected && $direction eq 0}selected="selected"{/if}>{$field} (Down)</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you! I am sure others will find these useful as well.
