Data Assist Sort Table Data

I have a repeating table with 3 column of data. I have followed the tutorial in the solution recipies on how to "Sort By Column Links". I have successfully finished the tutorial but I need help with the following:

I would like to have 4 custom links (instead of just two toggling links) in a dropdown menu:

1. Sort by listDate Descending
2. Sort by listDate Ascending
3. Sort by retailCost Ascending
4. Sort by retailCost Descending

..instead of the toggling links at the top of each column.

Looking at the code generated by the tutorial, i cannot understand what I should make the links in the dropdown be to accomplish the ASC or DESC part. Is there anyway to handle the ASC/DESC in the link and not just rely on the toggle function?

Attached is my code, here is a live link:
sort.php

Thanks for any help.
