Please could someone suggest how I can order table ABC based on the fields in table XYZ.
I need to do it in Forms with table ABC, so I cannot simply use a view which combines the two tables.
The two tables are linked thus:- ABC.id = XYZ.id
(It is a one to many relationship, but I am using a MIN function in XYZ.)
The desired order of 'id' is directly available (via several fields) in the XYZ table, but I want to effectively apply this order to the ABC table.
Your help on this problem would be much appreciated.

I have got a form with a table, view and another table, which are all linked. The second table has a date of when actions need to be completed.
When the user wants to see their actions I need the order to be by the action date.
For general use the order is just based on the first table.
With our version of oracle we cannot update a view.
Thanks,
Michael

Okay ... Oracle 8i WILL do updatable views. Make sure that there are no group statements, no union statements, and that ALL the columns associated with the various primary keys exist in the the selected columns.
If you have problems, then post the table definitions and the view you are trying to create.
Look at 'user_updatable_columns' for your user and view and check whether the columns in which you are interested are updatable.
