I think - at least in vfp 6 - it's a more than 3 steps

select Id, desc ;
     from table1 ;
     into cursor1 ;
     order by ...

select recno() as xxx, * from cursor1 into cursor cursor1 order by 1

&& same for cursor2 and cursor3

&& then do an outer join on xxx of all 3 cursors into one printcursor
&& set the print when in the report to !isnull(column...desc)
