clever solution Viv - thanks.

>>I would like to arrange in ascending order the average of two fields af1 and af2

>>the problem is that some of the records do not have an af2 so for these I would need the index to still place the highest of af1

>>is there a way to set up the index such that if af2 =0 then index on af1 only, if af2>0 the index on af1+af2

>>Can you please let me know if this is possible and a suggestion on how to formulate the code to create this double index

(af1+IIF(af2>0,af2,af1))/2
