Sort Records
One of the easiest ways to manipulate your database data is to perform a sort. Sorting allows you to put your database records in a logical order to match any criteria that you specify. For example, with a contacts database, you might want to sort the records alphabetically or based on the zip code. You can sort in ascending order or descending order.
You can either sort records in a table, or you can use a form to sort records. See Chapter 19 to learn more about Access tables. See Chapter 20 to more learn about forms.
