Lookup list sort
I am setting up a new database and am wondering how to sort a lookup list
after adding new value. I have a list of job titles, with the primary key as an autonumber, so in the lookup field the titles are sorted by the autonumber - I want to put them in alphabetical order (sort ascending). |

Create a query into the lookup table.
Drag both fields - the number and the text - into the output grid. Use the Sorting row in query design to sort by name. Save this query, as use it as the RowSource for your combo. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
