    Sorting Tables and Queries


    Is it possible to have multiple sorts in a table or query? For example, I can get the table or query to alphasort by last name, but there is no order for the first name. When I modify the sort, I get first names,but the last name is out of order. Seebelow. How can I sort by last name then firstname? Thanks.

    Current Table/Query:

    Smith, Mary
    Smith, Abby
    Smith, John
    Smith, Rosie
    Smith, Adam

    What I want:

    Smith, Abby
    Smith, Adam
    Smith, John
    Smith, Mary
    Smith, Rosie
