I didn't read that into the question and still don't.

However, if you are right then he needs to provide the algorithm to
achieve this.

Geoff,

Do you mean something like...

Function MySort(cByte)

Geoff,

Let's try again...

Function MySort(cByte)
return StrZero( at2(cByte, "LEMS"), 2)

then your index key would be MySort(TheFieldContainingLEMS)

Sort by

At(MYFIELD,"ELMS")

or if you want to avoid numerical indexes

Chr(Asc("A") + At(MYFIELD,"LEMS"))

or

Str(At(MYFIELD,"LEMS"),1,0)
