Hello Listers,

Here's a problem with Pro's (v8.0) SQL implementation that I had not noticed
before. I've just been developing a MB program which includes a SELECT
statement ordered by two fields (a 200 string field and an integer field).
However, the results are not what I expected as the integer field does not
sort correctly. On the hunch that Pro has a limit to the total field size
for the ORDER BY clause, I reduced the string field to 150 characters (big
enough for my data anyway) and magically it now works. So, lister beware
than ORDER BY's (and maybe even GROUP BY's) are limited by field sizes.
