HI there
i have this kind of employee list form in my database

select flag first name lastname dob
x xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx
x xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx
x xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx
x xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx

i wnat to do sorting of records on a tabular form by clicking on the header label of each field like first name or last name.This form is based on a query which is sorted by lastname.do i need to make different quries for each sorting.I think i can do it by orderby feature but i don'n know how to implement this in coding.
Thanks in advance

use this code

    1.
      Private Sub btnSortAsc_Click()
   2.
          'sets focus to previously active control as the current is [btnSortAsc]
   3.
          Application.Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
   4.
          'perform ascending sort command
   5.
          DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSortAscending  ' or acCmdSortDescending
   6.
      End Sub

on the labeb properties got to onclick event and insert this code.

NB: you have to get focus on the field to sort .E
