I suppose it would be the same as selecting a column by the number instead of the name...Any ideas how I can do this? Appreciate any help...Cheers" |

| You've already answered it, simply use ORDER BY n where n is the number of the column you want to order by.BTW, you cannot SELECT by column number, in fact ORDER BY is the only clause that uses column numbers. |
