Sorting data
Sorting is the process of rearranging records in a specified order
or sequence. When you sort data in a database, Access does not change
the sequence of the records in the underlying tables. Only the records
in the query datasheet are rearranged according to your specifications.
Sort keys can be text, number, date/time, currency, AutoNumber,
or yes/no fields, but not memo, OLE object, or hyperlink fields.
Condition is a criterion, or rule, that determines which
records are selected. To define a condition for a field, you place
the condition in the field's Criteria text box in the design grid.
