The grouping was the trick. This is dynamically sorted depending on user options. I had it sorting by prefix characters as that is what is needed for the most common sort. When I changes it to each value it started sorting correctly. I have set that as an option now in the code that sets the sort.

I've seen this in grouped reports -- you just have to add another grouping level that "sorts" by year. If that's not the problem, sorry! Susan H. I have a report and I have noticed that my dates are sorting in numerical order. This is not a common sort of this report, so I do not know how long it has been doing this. I have even tried to sort by Cdate(MyDate) to see if explicitly defining it as a date helps, but it is still sorting like this: 01/01/2005 01/05/2003 01/13/2004 02/03/2003 This is an Access XP front end connecting to a SQL backend. -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com - JENKENS & GILCHRIST E-MAIL NOTICE - This transmission may be: (1) subject to the Attorney-Client Privilege, (2) an attorney work product, or (3) strictly confidential.
