Select Statement

[Guest.Visitor]

Roger, Try using the fields position on the output; which in this case, the Order By statment would read like this: Order by 30, Imdsc1 Be aware that any change to the order of the preceeding fields will require a re-designation of the field number. In case you don't understand why you have this problem, it's because Odytid is not a field on the output record, that position -could be- Odytid, but it could also be the unnamed field value of blank.

ORDER BY Odytid, Imdsc1

Roger, If you want to avoid the positional notation that Bill mentions, you can also use something like: select ...ifnull(odytid,' ') as odytid from file order by odytid David Morris
