Touch�, Uffe.  You're right about not being able to sort on multiple fields
in ArcView...that is indeed a weakness in ArcView, but far more benign than
MapInfo's problem.

Then try to sort on more than one field in Arcview or store your table
in the new sorted order. Then Arcview gets into trouble. They both have
pros and cons.

The Query > Select command can do this. It requires fewer steps than the
full SQL query method.
