Hi,

I have a field that has a letter of the alphabet in it.  I need to change
the sequence of that field so the letter "S" comes before the letter
"C" and "X".  I don't remember how in DDS to specify a key
changing the sort sequence.  It has been a lot of years since I have
had to do that.

TIA,

Gary Kuznitz
