Microsoft Access Database Development With VBA: Sorting Records

	Sorting Records

Introduction

To programmatically sort records on a table, a query, or a form, etc, call its OrderBy() method and pass it the name of the column on which the sorting would be based. After calling OrderBy(), access its OrderByOn Boolean property and set its value to True. Here is an example:

Private Sub cmdSortByLastName_Click()
    OrderBy = "LastName"
    OrderByOn = True
End Sub

To remove the sorting, access the OrderByOn and set its value to False.
