Use a Custom Sort Order for your Forms and Reports

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will teach you how to specify a custom sort order that you can use to display records however you like in your tables, queries, forms, and reports.

Joyce asks, "I have a list of companies that I want to put into my reports, but I don’t wanted them listed alphabetically. I need to specify how they’re sorted. How do I do this?"

I'll show you how to have Access automatically determine what the next item in the sort order will be and fill it for you. I'll also address multi-user concerns (what if you both add a new record at the same time).
