And if it was a problem it sure would have a WAD, as many other problems ;-)

It's not a problem, it's a feature...

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.
