INTRODUCTION

In addition to selecting a set of records, you can optionally sort the records in a query using the Sort row. That way, you can view the results in the order you select. You can sort in ascending or descending order.

The sort order is entered. Click the Save button on the Standard toolbar in the main Access window to save the change you made to the query.

Click the Run button to run the query.

Access runs the query and displays the results, sorted in the order you selected (in this case, all clients in Indiana, sorted by last name).

Click the Close button to close the query.
