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 ascendingorder, and the skutype=num tells WebCat that the sku values are numbers andshould be sorted as numbers instead of being sorted as text.Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutionshttp://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html.
