<< I have a table with a few thousand rows. The first column is an integer and initially it has no data. That is the column I want to use to number my rows. I want to put a 1 in the column for the row that has the lowest value for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th columns. They all have data that is easy to sort (date, time and filename).
>> Why do you need a proxy column if you can sort the data by the existing columns? What happens if the data in the underlying columns changes, should the sort order column also change? -- Larry
