Hello Steven

first off I wouldn't do a filter I would do a SQL, then you can do a "order by"

select * ; &&field list
from Table ; &&table path and name, or just name
where a = a ; && your filter statement
order by a ; && set your order
into && into cursor (temp table in memory) or into table name.dbf

and put the table on the endusers pc and delete the file on your way out of the form


just a thought

hope this helps

>I am filtering records from my table for grid population. I need the records to be in numerical order. How can I do a temporary order of the records. I tried Index To but I writes a file which I really don't need.
