I think there are 305 people that don't understand your question.

Shouldn't this be solved by two BY statements?

Yes...please elaborate yours Issue...
If you already have pagenation functiocnality then
you can always capture which page your navigating on...Keep that pagenumber in a variable.

Simple syntax below
-SET &SORT = IF &PAGENUM EQ 20 OR 12 THEN 'HIGHEST' ELSE '';
TABLE FILE your table
BY &SORT sort field
END


Thanks,

I think what Swati means is that he/she is using on-demand-paging.
And then when going to page 3 it would be nice to be able to sort the records in ascending or descending order on that page only and thus keep the contents of every page the same only sorted differently.
There is no standard thing in the ODP to get that done.
There is a possibility to code it yourself, although it is just an idea, I haven't tested it.
You could count your records and based upon that create a page number for every record. Set the number of lines per page to something hihgher than what you actually want per page. Then sort on the page number (low to high) with page-break and then apply the normal sorts you already have in place. Whether you do these low-to-high or high-to-low doesn't matter, the records will stay on the same page because of the higher level sort on page number.
