Hello all,

I'm putting together a sample location map with each sample point 
labelled by an MapID number. I'm trying to find an automatic way of 
having the MapID number be increasing by 1 in sort of a "connect 
the dots" pattern across the map, to avoid the reader from searching 
for MapID's when no logical pattern exists.

Basically, I'm starting at one corner of the map, selecting a 
comfortable cluster of samples, sorting by northing,  and updating 
my MapID column with the rowid. Then for the next selected cluster I 
update them with the rowid + the last ID from the last query. It sort of 
works, depending on my "comfortable cluster size" yet I still get the 
occaisonal sequential MapID at far extremes (east - west wise) to 
each other, leaving the reader wondering where the next sample in 
the sequence went and why isn't it this one right near by?

Any clues on this one?


Thanks,
Carl
