And if SKU 1 is Sold=T then the results would then be >SKU 2 and 3? Not the random results. Try adding &asskusort=1&skutype=num to your search parameters. The &asskusort=1 tells WebCat to sort the matching sku values in ascending order, and the skutype=num tells WebCat that the sku values are numbers and should be sorted as numbers instead of being sorted as text.Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html.
