One way of doing this, although clunky, is to include another column as
month(birthday) and another one as year(birthday).  You could then order by
month(birthday), year(birthday).

Subject:  Another Access 2000 Date/Time Sort Thingie


I have a list of birthdays here:
http://ann.bourbon.hoosierlink.net/Wob/BirthdayForm.cfm

Right now I have all the years at 2001 and 2002 so they will sort correctly,
by month. What I want is to be able to have have them sort by the month then
day then year.

so they might apear as

January 26, 1956
January 31, 1960
February 2, 1948
March 30, 1970

Dates are entered in the Access Database:

1/26/1956
1/31/1960 ect.

<CFQUERY NAME="GetBirthday" DATASOURCE="wobbersmet">
SELECT    FirstName, LastName, Birthday, Met, Email, Address1, City, State,
Zip, Phone
FROM      wobinfo
WHERE     Birthday > (Now())
ORDER BY  WobInfo.Birthday
</CFQUERY>

<cfinclude template="Toolbar.cfm">
<TABLE WIDTH="50%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="2" CELLPADDING="2">
  <TH>First Name</TH> <TH>Last Name</TH><TH>Birthday!</TH>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetBirthday">
     <TR BGCOLOR=#IIF(getbirthday.currentrow MOD 2, DE ('FFFFFF'), DE
('FFFFDF'))#>
          <TD>#FirstName#</TD><td>#LastName#</td><TD>#DateFormat(Birthday, "mmmm
dd, yyyy dddd")#</TD>
     </TR>
</CFOUTPUT>
  </TABLE>
</TABLE>
