Norman, Hopefully not too late. Reports sort independently of queries. There is an icon that looks like a large left parentheses, then two smaller left parentheses stacked on top of each other and then two = signs. This is the sorting and grouping icon. Also next to the toolbox icon. Click this icon and select the field you wish to sort by and you should get the results you want. Good Luck Hal
PS Hopefully the above makes sense, two people separated by a common language after all...

AC2002 using default 2000 format I have a report based on a query that sorts correctly on lastname and is grouped on the first character of the lastname. The query, a test form all sort correctly. But the report although grouped correctly does not sort correctly. Infact I cannot fathom out the sort sequence at all. Now getting desparate as I need this report tonight & have 1124 records to be verified by the organisation members for accuracy. Any help & advice would be most welcome.
