Different Order
Niel Porter

I'm working through Access Beginner 7 lessons 4 and 5. My CustomerListF form has a different order than the query it is based upon (CustomerSortedQ). The CustomerSortedQ is sorted by Last Name Ascending and then First Name Ascending but my CustomerListF appears to be sorted by the CustomerID ascending. The lessons show the the same order in both the query and the form based on the query. I am using Access 365 and not Access 10 (what the lessons are based upon). Any idea what is happening. I believe I've followed the video closely.

Check the Record Source of the form and make sure you haven't inadvertently selected CustomerT instead of CustomerSortedQ.

Thanks Kevin, I check and the record source is correct (CustomerSortedQ). Still trying to figure it out but thanks.

I think I may have figured this out (but it happened because I started looking closer at the Property Sheet in responding to Kevin's input). For whatever reason, when I created the CustomerListF, it entered a default value in the "Order By" property that sorted by First Name and then by Last Name (I got it wrong stating that the form sorted by the CustomerID when I looked at it again closer). Once I cleared this property, the form worked as I expected. I'm not sure why this default was entered to this property but I assume it has to do with using Access 365 instead of Access 10 used in the lessons.
