I've just tried the sub-select approach. Works great on the first page -
shows names listed alphabetically sorted by country. However, once I click
on
'Next 20' both sorts go bye-bye (neither by name nor country).

I am late to the thread but I wanted to offer another suggestion.
Thanks Jay,
Well, I went back to work on it, and with the combined suggestions from the
list, it's working now. I just had to insert the sub-select on the called

a different way.
For instance, he wanted to see entries 30-60 as sorted by age, but to have
those sorted by height when displayed.

Maybe you could have a hidden field that lists the 30 IDs that are
Thanks Miguel,
I haven't tried the sub-query approach yet, but that does seem to be the way
to do this. My fear is that it will trash the current paging (which took
forever to get working with the current setup). Actually, after trying my
original code again in another smaller select

That looks promising, but the question remains -- would it affect the current
paging? I really don't wnat to spend another day getting that going again! :
