Neil, Actually looking at the data output required I would say a right outer join is required here and then the order by will work as required.
So that the SQL shoulq be SELECT * FROM events_table RIGHT OUTER JOIN dates_table ON events_table.EventID = dates_table.EventID Order by events_table.EventId <cfoutput query="query" group="EventId"> </cfoutput> Which will give you EventName1 - EventDate EventName2 - EventDate Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
