1) In the form designer:
    Drag the table from the navigator to the form
2) Click on the SQL object on the form
3) In the inspector, click on rowset, and then on the tool button
4) In the inspector for the _rowset_, click on indexName
5) Select the index you want
   ** Table will now appear in the sequence defined by the index **
6) Drag a _grid_ (not a browse) onto the form from the component
pallette
7) In the inspector, select the rowset for the datalink (click on
datalink ...)
8) Look at the properties of the grid ... 

That should get you started ...
