Ascending Columns

I have 2 columns of titles displaying in ascending order but they ascend accross

column1 | column2
can you fly |can't fly
get jobs now |Hill

I would like it to ascend down col 1 first then col 2, not ascend accross

Is there a way to do this?

This is what I have now...

<?PHP $dbcnx = dbopen();
$columns = 2;
$query = "SELECT * FROM help_tbl WHERE posted = 'Y' ORDER BY title ";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<TABLE BORDER="0" width="99%">n";

for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if($i % $columns == 0) {

echo "<TR>n";
}
echo "<TD width="50%"><a href="./help.php?show_help=$row[id]">" . $row['title'] . "</a> </TD>n";
if(($i % $columns) == ($columns - 1) || ($i + 1) == $num_rows) {

echo "</TR>n";
}
}
echo "</TABLE>n";
?>
