I have a data base of transactions by individuals. I want to sum the total number and value of transactions by each individual and then sort these sums by ascending number of transactions/individual. How can I do this?
Thanks,
jnix
 

To sum the totasl number of transactions, put a dummy field in the underlying query. Give the dummy field a value of 1. Sort the query by individual.

Then turn the query into a totalling query by using the icon with a large sigma. In the individual field set to "GROUP BY" Use the "SUM' aggregate function function for the dummy field and the value field. Run the query
