You would have to first write your founditems to a table and add a simple sorting field to that table based off of simple criteria... The sort field ("RANK" perhaps) could have a value of 0 if the field is not blank, and a 1 if it is. Then search that table and do a 2 part sort. First sort would be a type=3Dnum sort on the RANK field that is always descending. The second sort would be your ascend or descend sorts. yup, that should do it. :-) Donovan --=20 Donovan D.
