You asked quite a lot of questions, but generally, yes, you can always add a RANK fieldname to a database and sort on it manually. Also, yes, you can sort alphabetically or numerically on any fieldname. I would suggest to post back with one specific question (at a time).. and even post the code. for the above, &asLNAMEsort=1 would sort in an ascending fashion on the last name. However, if there is other sorting going on, you would have to change the sort order '1'. Also, if there is summing going on &Summ=T, then that will mess up your sorting.
