Sounds like you may need to create a temporary db which saves the 'totals' which you can then sort. If you have v5 WebDNA you should be able to use the new [TABLE] context.Regards, Tim -- Tim Robinson IDFK Web Developments tim@idfk.com.au 114a/40 Yeo Street Neutral Bay 2089 Australia Phone +612 9908 2134 Fax +612 9908 4837> From: WJ Starck > Reply-To: (WebDNA Talk) > Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 22:14:06 > To: (WebDNA Talk) > Subject: [search] sort problem > > Can't wrap my brain around this one. > > This template shows the number of items ordered by SKU for a given date > range.
