Hi :) If the Form is based on a Query then it's fairly easy to sort the Query. In the Query just put the Surname column first and the First name after it. Then just set each column to sort in ascending order.
If the Form is based straight off a Table instead then there is probably some way of doing it but it's likely to be a bit less transparent. I don't know how to re-base a Form off a Query instead of a Table but i think that is the direction i would go in, in order to increase flexibility and transparency in the future.
