Hello,

  I Have a TQuery component with an sql statement like "select * from
myTable where etc etc ... order by etc etc...."
The result is a table of 3000 thousand records...
Now, I need only the first 2000 records... and I need to order them...

I'd like to issue a command like   "select * from MyPreviousQuery order by
something..."

Can someone help me?
Thank you.

The ordering can be achieved in the original query (hopefull). To filter out
the unwanted records, you can use the Filter and Filtered properties.

Or you can use an in-memory dataset, such as TClientDataset. Loop through
your query and copy the records you want to keep over to the clientdataset.
Clientdataset can also help the sorting issue because it allows you to add
indexes on the fly.

For more info on how to use a clientdataset to sort records, see the article
at

http://www.cbuilderzine.com/features/1999/10/cb199910hhnew_f/cb199910hhnew_f
.asp

The article itself is dull and boring, but it does show how to use index'es
to sort the data however you want on the client side.
