Bill, TTBOMK, the data will display and print in the order in which is stored in the database unless you specify a sort. You can always click the "Sort" button on the browser to specify and/or clear the sort order before printing. By the way, the "correct" syntax for your command would be: EDIT trial plotnum, sample, stand1, stand2, stand3 FROM rawdata WHERE trial = '118732' ORDER BY plotnum ASC, sample ASC R:Base has been pretty lenient with old syntax, but sooner or later it might come back to bite you...I have been there. Javier,

The data is sorted by the first criteria (plotnum) on the printout, but not the second criteria (sample). If I use the menu option SORT and specify the two criteria, then it prints in the proper order. R> command follows: EDIT trial plotnum sample stand1 stand2 stand3 FROM rawdata WHERE trial = '118732' ORDER BY plotnum sample We use this option at times when we aren't too concerned with the appearance of the output. This is in 9.1.4.10602 Thanks. Bill Niehaus
