Unfortunately, the customer wants it sorted in blocks by the neSigOpt and then by name.

>You must change the ORDER BY clause, something like
>SELECT LName, FName, Mi, ThID, neSigOpt, lPin, lFingerReg, ;
>  PADR(ConfirmType(neSigOpt, lPin, lFingerReg), 30) AS ConfData, isactive, lOverride ;
>FROM Ther ;
>&lcFilter ;
>INTO CURSOR SigTypeR;
>  ORDER BY LName, FName,isActive, neSigOpt DESC, 8,  Mi, ThID
