SQL Order By Clause Must Be a Field Name in Q+E Last reviewed: October 31, 1994 Article ID: Q45979

SUMMARY When using the Order By clause with a SQL select statement, the parameter must be a field name in one of the databases listed in the From clause. If the field name is not in one of the databases listed in the From clause, then Q+E displays the following error message Query field not found <fieldname> where <fieldname> is the actual field name not found. When using the Order By clause, the field name does not have to be one of the names in the select clause.
