1 Male
2 Female

and

t_names

name_ID name_name sex_id

first reaction: Why not Sex "M" or "F" ? - but that aside ...

What is going to be your column heading? It is going to have to be the same
for Jon and Sue, and for Jason and Sally, if you want those names in the
same column as in your example.

My guess is that you do not have a candidate for column variable. If so one
way to solve this would be to allocate a sequence number starting at 1 for
every male, and a similar sequence number starting at 1 for every female and
use those numbers as the column heading. You can then get that layout with a
crosstab query with Sex as the row variable, sequence as the column
variable, and name as the value variable.
