Thanks to all who responded (Jason Adam, Tom Manson, Flavio Hendry and Russell Mincher). The question: > Is it possible to control the order that objects within the same > table are displayed?This is in relation to thematic mapping in > particular.

There were two lines of thinking on this, the first summarised as follows:- Do a Select... of all the rows in the table, Sort By: the rangecolumn, and Into Table: LineSort (or your preferred table name). Now Add that new table to your Layer Control and then Make Thematic on it instead of the base table. I didn't have any joy with this approach, the display order seemed to remain random as suggested by other replies. In order to work around this shortcoming I created 3 separate tables based on the value in the 'range column', set up the display styles as required, and ordered the 3 layers in the map so that they displayed in the correct order. Seems to defeat the purpose of the thematic mapping functionality...
