OrderBy

Command button click event:

Me.RecordSource = "Select * from tbl Order BY ID Desc"
Me.Refresh

modify tbl, ID, Desc as needed.
Default is ascending.

Code behind your command button:

Me.OrderBy ="[IDNumber]"   ' OR Me.OrderBy= "IDNumber"
Me.OrderByOn = True

Descending
Me.OrderBy ="[IDNumber] DESC"   ' OR Me.OrderBy= "IDNumber DESC"

if that is a subform, try

me![subformcontrolName].orderby="[IDNumber]"
for descending
me![subformcontrolName].orderby="[IDNumber] Desc"

me![subformcontrolName].orderbyon=true
or

me![subformcontrolName].Form.orderby="[IDNumber]"
for descending
me![subformcontrolName].Form.orderby="[IDNumber] Desc"

me![subformcontrolName].Form.orderbyon=true

Thanks Hnasr

Don't really know if I should post this here but previous thread a week ago has closed.

In a in a procedure that runs from the attached continuous  form.  I'm using

Me.RecordSource = "Select * from SetsQuery Order By Val(TrimNumString([DoorNumber]))"

Where setsQuery is the forms record source

I copied a function from another thread earlier

I get out of stack space.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Ray

Do I need the brackets around "[DoorNumber]"

Great thanks

Welcome!
