This is true of both ungrouped columns as well as grouped columns (which may not have identical values in each row). Of course "last" is up to the database, not your query, since there is no enforced ordering. > and then to allow control of within-group ordering using ORDER BY. ORDER BY is applied after the GROUP BY and should not have any meaning to the rows within a group. Any change is likely a side-effect. -j -- Jay A.
