Hmm...that doesn't make much sense to me.  What happens if you run your
query in your query tool (MS-SQL Query Analyzer or similar).  Do you get the
same result?  What happens if you add DESC or ASC to the ORDER BY clause?

Well, that looks like a text sorting (look at the months -- 1,12,2,3); is it
a date field?

Help?

I have a column in my database that is populated with dates from today up
till the end of next year, The query does not sort the output the way it
should (the database is on SQL Server), here is what is happenning:

CFQuery:

<cfquery name="GetSchoolActivities" datasource="#DS#"
username="#DSUsername#" password="#DSPassword#">
SELECT      ActivityDate
FROM        Activities
WHERE   ActivityDate > #CreateODBCDate(Now())#
ORDER BY        ActivityDate
</cfquery>

Here's my output to web:

1/11/01
1/15/01
12/15/00
12/20/00
2/3/01
3/6/01


Why does it run January in front of December, and December in front of
February.

Thanks for your help
