Hello,

I am working with legacy data that has table of Events. I am simply using " SELECT * " from the source data table into a temp table with an ORDER BY Date, Time, Track, and Title. The resulting data order is almost correct except for the case where a "10:30 AM - 11:45 AM" event appears before the "7:45 AM - 8:45 AM" event for the same day in the output table.

Naturally, I'm assuming this is a result of "1" coming before "7" in number order. I don't think that I can re-index or sort the results table as it is supposed to be in "print-ready" order for output to a comma-delimited, ASCII text file (using REPORT FORM <>.frx TO <>.txt ASCII). The customer wants to send this text file directly to the printing company for printing and binding of their conference manual.

I've already groomed the source data tables for the Time field to insure all Caps and left justification. Also, I don't know if there is an acceptable way to code a function into the output report's Time field as it would most likely distort the print order of the data.

Are there any TIME-related functions that might be employed inside the SQL statement that would handle this, that would output 7:45AM before 10:00AM in the Time column of the temp table?

Thanks

Mark
