In addition to what Peter says:
when you click on the column you want to, put this code
set order to ... in .....(the table or cursor)
this.parent.parent.refresh
Those two lines of code will do what you want. Of course, we are talking of a grid here, not a browse

I need to present information from several tables. I want to enable the user to click on a column header to control the order in which the records are displayed. At this point it does not need to be very polished so a simple browse with scrolling, column resizing and repositioning, with control F find will be fine.
I do this with a grid on a form. I create a cursor in the init or load
and set that as the recordsource etc. then fill it with data and index on the columns you want to be able to set order to. To change the order just click on the column header and some code behind that changes the index order. Grids are definitely more work than a browse but you can do a lot more with them, like the column header click.
