>Hi all,
>the code below works but I need to add in an order by field1, field2 but I can't get it to work, I get an order by error. I've tried a simple order by command but no joy, also tried moving between engine behaviour 70/80/90 with no luck. Any help appreciated.

Adding ORDER BY before into cursor should work. What is the exact error you're getting?

In the worse case scenario you can

select * from (...
UNION
...) X
ORDER BY ...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
