Question

Query of Queries child sorting

When preforming a query of query I am losing the sort order of the cached query.

The column that the cached query is sorting by is not one I could use in the new

query. Is there any way to keep the sorting the same through both queries?

Thanks

I'm confused. If you can't order by the original column, how would you expect the new query to be sorted by that column?

Hi Dave,

The original query gets sorted properly. I was thinking that when I queried the original query the sort order would still be the same, just a smaller result set based on the columns I selected.

Hi, Ben!

Can't you just include an ORDER BY clause in the second query? There's no guarantee that any query will be sorted the way you want it without an ORDER BY clause.
