I have a table with values for a column can be:

'L'
'E'
'M'
'S'

I would also like them to sort this way currently they sort in
alpabetical order'

'E'
'L'
'M'
'S'

Is their a function that would return the desired result

I would say that you should add a sort field where you can do this.
In index keys I think you can only use standard VO funtions.

Sorry for the Clipper-ese... How about
SORT ON at( cSortField, "LEMS" )
.... simple and the custom key is available to all applications

Geoff,

Why do you say this is a 'custom' sort?
Isn't it just purely alphabetic?

This is automatic with bArrayServer and a no brainer for DNF and SQL.

It's a custom sort wanted

He wants the 'LEMS' order not the 'ELMS' order.
