I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet. Another way you can

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for the good sql resource. I looked at the 7 articles, the ones that

But, this site will come in very handy for other queries. Thanks very much!

Hi Russ,
I did that, but I get an error stating that there is no column in the db
named SortOrder. Here is the modified query:
SELECT CompanyTbl.*, Rnd() as SortOrder
FROM CompanyTbl
WHERE CompanyWantsMiniSite = 'Yes' AND MakeMiniSitePublic = 'Yes'
ORDER BY C

Remove the CompanyName field from the ORDER BY clause. Then the results
will be ordered by ClassOfService onlyunless I'm missing your point

Leave your query the same.
Do something like:
{do processing here}

If your database has a random number generator function, you can try:
SELECT tblCompany.*, Random() as SortOrder FROM tblCompany ORDER by
SortOrder
HTH--haven't tried it myself.
