I don't have VFP right now to test, but perhaps you can use two SELECT statements, and recno(), thusly:

select start, end from MyTable;
  order by ...;
  sort by ...;
  into cursor Temp1
select *, recno() from Temp1 into cursor Temp2

If you have a UDF to generate sequential numbers, you could also call that function as part of the SELECT statement. You would have to reset the sequence though, if you use the SELECT statement more than once.

HTH,

Hilmar.
