most delinquent accounts.

2. Choose Sort... in the Records menu.
The Sort dialog box appears.
3. Select the field that you want to sort in the Field Name drop-down list.
All the fields in your form are in this list.
4. Select the desired sort order:
◆
Select Ascending Order to sort records from least to greatest. For
example, from A–Z or from 0–100. Symbols precede numbers and
numbers precede letters: $40, 40, Forty.
◆
Select Descending Order to sort records from greatest to least. For
example, from Z–A or from 100–0. Letters precede numbers and numbers
precede symbols: Forty, 40, $40.

options to return records to the order in which they were originally
entered.
