Sorting order
Hello,
I have a table of 700 hundred people. ID number, first name, last name. In the table, they are sorted by ID num, the primary key. When I pull the form up, the people are listed in order by the first letter of their first name. Z to A. Why is the form sorting diff from the table? Can this be changed? Thank you all for your help. Susan

Is your form based on a query or directly on the table?
