When you report the content of a data base - (run a query) You may have the option of sorting it in to numeric order, alphabetical order etc - this can make reading the data easier. I.e. the list of sports clubs sorted in to the descending order of points won , this would find the top winner. A telephone list sorted by last name to make it alphabetical
