not with distinct. but you can group by and then order by min(TimeField)

Select Company, Order from Myfile
Where userID=:value

Order by min(TimeField )

Using embedded SQL... I have a "Select Distinct" statement that is
returning the result I need... However, I need the result set sorted by a
field/row that is NOT in the distinct clause. Is there a way to do this?

Ex:
Select distinct Company, Order from Myfile
Where userID=:value
Order by TimeField;

This produces an SQL0214 error...

Is there another way I'm not thinking about?

Thx
