2 questions about Beginner 7 lesson 5

First off, I made the CustomerSortedQ sorted by last name then first name (both ascending) and used this as the record source for the CustomerListF.  However, when I open CustomerListF only the first name field is sorted and I have not been able to spot why this is.  Any tips on what I may be overlooking?

Secondly, I was curious about tab order in the customer list.  Is it possible to set the tab order to cycle from record to record as opposed to cycling through each field?  I tried removing fields from the tab order but was unable to do so.  If this is covered later, I'll happily wait until I get there.

Look at the Order By property of the Form. It may be overriding the Query sort order.

Richard covered moving through records in this video:

Thank you very much, Kevin.  The OrderBy was overriding the query sort.  Appreciate the video link as well.

Quick update...  I just finished Beginner 8 and was able to achieve the desired tab order simply by making only one field per record a tab stop.  Inelegant, perhaps, but effective.

Once again, I appreciate the assistance.
