define sorting records
You can sort the records in a table, query, form, or a report on one or more fields. When sorting on multiple. fields, it is important to identify what are known as the outermost and innermost sort fields. The records are. sorted first on the outermost field and then next on the innermost field. The outermost field is the primary sort. Use innermost fields as tie-breakers. The order you choose when you design an object becomes the object's default sort order.
