You can use col-md-3 in bootstrap.

It will divide the row into three .

Let me know if that fix it .

You shouldn't be using tables for layouts in the first place. You like use a grid system or css flexbox

How do i use it in my code. Or is my code not correct?

Your code is correct is just the hmtl and the styling.I can't really explain bootstrap here. Another trick is to use limit in your SQL query

For the first column you can use limit 10
Same with the second column and set offset .
If I'm less busy tomorrow I can write the code and upload on my site for you .

Will be glad. Note i am calling the data from a single column.

Using bootstrap will change your entire front end.
Let's do this .
I believe you have a column with the name $display_name and it contain all the data you want to display.

Let's split them into four column in your database. With column name $name-group1 , $name_group2 ,$name-group3,$name-group4

In your front end you can do
<tr>
<TD> echo [name_group1] <TD>
<TD> echo [name_group2] <TD>
<TD> echo [name_group3] <TD>
<TD> echo [name_group4] <TD>
</tr>

You can call me for more clarification

Here is the solution.

Thanks man
