You may sort the rowsource itself, i.e. SET ORDER TO TAG partname IN part. Here, you might want to separate the rowsource from real table, because the table may change its order during the application flow. Therefore, it might be useful, either
SELECT partname From part INTO cursor mycursor ORDER by 1
in combo.init event and use this cursor as rowsource, or just reopen the table
USE part In 0 AGAIN ALIAS mypart
and 'mypart' as rowsource.
Also, there are plenty of other opportunities.
