If anyone is interested, here is the code we eventually have used:

<?php
$sSql = "select id from crm_leads ";
$sLeads = pg_exec($conn,$sSql);
for($e=0;$e<pg_numrows($sLeads);$e++){
$sSql = "SELECT * FROM crm_events where crm_leads_id =
".pg_result($sLeads,$e,"id")." and follow_up_action!='' ORDER BY
follow_up_date desc limit 1";
$sRes = pg_exec($conn,$sSql);
$sHits = pg_numrows($sRes);

if($sHits!=0){

for($i=0;$i<$sHits;$i++){

$temp_date = explode("-",pg_result($sRes,
$i,"follow_up_date"));
$temp_tstamp = gmmktime(0,0,0,$temp_date[1],
$temp_date[2],
$temp_date[0]);
$array_echo[$temp_tstamp] .=
"<tr><td>".$compName1."</td><td>".$empl1."</td><td>".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"date")."</td><td>".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"description")."</td><td>".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"type")."</td><td>".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"follow_up_action")."</td><td>".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"follow_up_date")."</td><td><a
href='crm_events_edit.php?id=".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"id")."'>Edit</a></td><td><a
href='crm_events_bycomp.php?id=".pg_result($sRes,
$i,"crm_leads_id")."'>Action</a></td></tr>";
}
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>
CRM - Events
</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="<?echo $sBodyColor?>">
<?php require("menu.php"); ?>
<table width='100%'>
<tr><td><h2><font color='<? echo $sHeadingColor?>'>Events Requiring
Action</font></h2></td>
<td align='right'><a href='manual/crm_events.html' target='_blank'><img
src='images/help_btn.jpg' border=0></a></td>
</table>
<? asort($array_echo); ?>
<? foreach($array_echo as $ae){
echo $ae;
}
?>
<? echo $prog_echo_end; ?>
</body>
</html>

The limit 1 gets us the last qualifying event on each lead, and this
result is stuck into an array which is sorted by follow_up_date prior to
display.

I probably didn't explain the problem too well! But thanks for the
input.
