Create a query.
Use the Sort row in query design to specify the sort order. Choose this query in the RecordSource property of your form. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

You can base the form on a query which is sorted as you want to see the
records. Or you can open the form and click into the field that you want to sort on. Look for the A-Z sort button and click on it. Save the form. That should sort it in that order. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.

Bethany
Are you saying that you are using a continuous form, one that displays a number of records at once? As folks have suggested elsethread, using a query to "feed" your form is the way to go. However, if you *(?your user?)* only needs to see a single record at a time, why are you loading ALL of the records into the form?
