I have an input form that lots of people use...how can I get the column on the output page to sort the date....its trying to sort by number which isn't working...as 12 (december) is showing before 7 (july)...I'm sure this is a simple thing but I'm new at the .asp thing...thanks very much! M

jma,

I am guessing that you are putting this data in a database. If so, confirm that the field is a date field and not a text field. When that is done you should be able to sort by date in ascending or descending order.
