Unlike most databases when you sort in hypercard it stays sorted (evan after you quit). to sort like you wanted try this: on mouseup sort by word 2 of fld name sort by field zip end muoseup when it sorts by zip since the cards are in alphabetical order by last name it will keep that order within each zip code.
