The information you supplied is not complete, so I will guess. It seem to me that you pick-up two fields (Integer and Character) and want to bind your combo on integer, showing ordered Characters in the list portion. You may accomplish these by following settings:
.Rowsourcetype=6
.Rowsource="mycursor.charfield,intfield"
.BoundTo=.T. && it's necessary for bound combos only
.BoundColumn=2
When you create a cursor, order it by character field.
