Understood.
Tks.

>As Hilmar pointed out, you can not use TRANSFORM function here. If both fields are integer, look at BINTOC() function in Help. Otherwise use STR with the maximum length. Say, you have numeric field N(7). You need to use STR(MyNumericField,7)

>>>The result looks ascending to me. I guess you really meant to concatenate (string version of) the values, and not just sum them. Try using:
>>> Index on Transform( iFldA ) + Transform( iFldB ) Tag XFLDAB
