Thank you for your response. Actually, I did change the date field format in the layout as you suggested. > I also saved a copy and did a recover on the file, no luck. > Exported the date field contents from FMPro and brought it into a NEW file with the date field pre-formatted

Importing records from text file to FMP. All is well -EXCEPT - imported date is in different format than existing FM dates. Consequently, sorting records now gives two sets of properly ordered (within each set) results.
