I think there is two limitations:
- Number of column: 5
- Number of bytes: 255

Subject: RE: MI-L Limitation in ORDER BY Clause


Hi all,

My BIG question is...is it the field types (eg. char width), or the number of 
fields being used in the sort?

...I had a problem sorting by three(3) columns the other day, so I wrote a 
fairly simple MBX to first split the table on one field into separate queries 
(Queries were ordered by the other two cols which did work ok), then appended 
them all back together...so the initial split gave me the first col sort 
(separation in order by group by query).  The split queries were sorted by the 
other two fields.

I'm happy to give anyone the code if they want, it might be simpler to explain 
that way.  I made it kinda flexible?
