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?

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.

Best to save the newly created query (SQL) as a saved query in the db window, then use that as the RecordSource. But either way requires no change to the Form really.
