XL97: Cannot Clear "Sort by" List in Query Wizard

ID: Q157062

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

In Query Wizard, you cannot clear the "Sort by" list in the Sort Order dialog box. There is no command that allows you to clear the "Sort by" list.

This problem occurs when you select a field by which to sort in the Sort Order dialog box, and then try to clear the "Sort by" list.

To work around this problem, do the following:

1. Click Back twice to go back to the Choose Columns dialog box.

2. In the Choose Columns dialog box, remove all the fields by clicking

   the remove all (<<) button.

3. Select each table or column you removed in step 2, and click the add (>)

   button.

4. Click Next twice.

The "Sort by" list in the Sort Order dialog is cleared.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
