I suppose if you are really perverse you could define enough logicals to cover all possible sorting combinations :-) Rob Berendt ================== "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I also provide a position to by adding a where clause in the SQL. If you went back to native I/O, you would loose the dynamic sorting capabilities.
