Create a query to use as the record source of the form that uses the two criteria you want to Order By.

Maybe using a query as the Record Source for the form ... example:
SELECT Table1.*
FROM Table1
ORDER BY Format([End Date],"yyyymmdd"), Table1.FIELD1;
mx
SELECT Table1.*
FROM Table1
ORDER BY Format([End Date],"yyyymmdd"), Table1.FIELD1;
mx
The form is rather complex. I can not afford to build the form again based on the query you are proposing.
Other ideas?

You can try this code if the Form Load event:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.OrderBy = "[YourDateFieldName], [YourOtherFieldName]"
Me.OrderByOn = True
End Sub
"I can not afford to build the form again based on the query you are proposing."
But that is *very* easy to do ... requires virtually no change.
mx
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.OrderBy = "[YourDateFieldName], [YourOtherFieldName]"
Me.OrderByOn = True
End Sub
"I can not afford to build the form again based on the query you are proposing."
But that is *very* easy to do ... requires virtually no change.

Thank you. It works.
"But that is *very* easy to do ... requires virtually no change."
Could you tell me how to do that or give me some hints?

Sure ...
Your Form is currently based on a table, right ?
See the steps below ... just create the SQL off of the existing table and make that the RecordSource - or same it as a Named query ... and use that query.
