I find that using an array with a combo is much easier. Add an array property to your base combo class and then in the init of the combo you can completely control the order of the data.

SELECT name FROM customer ORDER BY credit_available INTO CURSOR this.aCombo

>I have a table containing a list of available products. I have sorted the table by writing a new version of the table using a select query, ordered by a field that determines the desired sequence. The records should be stored in the table in the desired order. If I open the table with no index order set, the records appear in the desired order.
