Thanks Booth
The answer is for the WHOLE data (ALL 15,000 records) to be sorted
(ascending/descending) based upon whatever combination of the 7 columns the
user wants, hence the Dynamic sort. The order by of the SQL statement will
have to be dynamically built.

What if you present data by, say, year. Then the user clicks the column
headed "Color". Do you want the 15 items shown by column "year" to be
sorted by color, or so you want all 15000 records sorted by color first,
then by year?
(Also, clicking the sort column a second time could present the same
data in reverse order (ascending vs. descending)

Thanks for your reply Michael, but I think you misunderstand what I am looking for. If my screen is displaying 7 different columns, the user wants to be able to sort the data by ANY combination of those columns for example Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, Col5, Col6, Col7 and then (by magic) the same data by Col7, Col6, Col5, Col4, Col3, Col2, Col1 AND THEN Col6 Or maybe Col5, Col6, Col1 This would mean building the ORDER BY within the SQL statement based upon the request of the user. So as per my original request if anyone can help me, I am looking for an example of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting Subfiles - Page at a time (with the ability to position to a particular piece of data) However - Michael, I will still look up your suggestion Thanks in advance Alan Shore NBTY, Inc (631) 244-2000 ext. 5019 AShore@xxxxxxxx

Look in the archives for uses of the CASE statement. I don't remember
the
exact syntax at this time, but you can use the case statement to order by
a
specific field based on the user selection.

Even more embedded SQL....

Hi All,
I have been given a project that requires the need to display, within a
subfile, the data from 2
separate files with the ability to sort that data from any number of
different columns. So I
thought to myself, this smacks of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting
Subfiles. The unfortunate
thing is that the data I have to display is over 15,000 records long
(and
growing) so if anyone can help me, I am looking for an example of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting Subfiles - Page at a time (with the ability to position to a particular piece of data)" Some title for an article huh? If anyone has an example of what is required, or could point me in some direction, I would be very grateful.
