I've got one that's really buggin me:

I have a recordset that contains contact info, nearly all of which is
optional, unfortunately.  What I am doing is sorting by the last name,
then the first name, then the email address and plunking these into a
select list.

What I end up with (in ascending order) is a bunch of email addresses at
the top  (those without first or last names in the db), then first names
(no last name in the db) then the neatly ordered first and last names.

What I'd like is to have the records with a first and last name come
first, then the ones with just first names, then the ones with only an
email address.

My code looks like this:

select contactID, (fname + ' ' + lname) as fullname, email 
from contacts
where active = 1 
order by lname, fname, email

would someone kindly throw me a bone?

Thanks,
Stephen
