When just using the graph feature on your x asis i can only see and get it to sort ascending or descending. I want it to sort by my by field.

Yes.

A sort is exactly that. Either up or down.

I can not understand exactly what you want it to do

quote:

I want it to sort by my by field.

That's exactly what it's doing.

If you mean you want for example for COUNTRY=ENGLAND

INTERCEPTOR III XJ12L AUTO TR7 V12XKE AUTO

instead of

INTERCEPTOR III TR7 V12XKE AUTO XJ12L AUTO

then you have to explicity tell it the order such as

ACROSS MODEL COLUMNS 'INTERCEPTOR III' AND 'XJ12L AUTO' AND 'TR7' AND 'V12XKE AUTO'

Do a search on GRAPH and ACROSS and COLUMNS

You will find lots of hits to show you how

Ok here is the simple explination.
My x asis along the bottom of my graph I have month. So I can only get it to sort Aug, Dec, Jan, July. or Sep, Oct, Nov, either Asending or Desending. I want it to go Jun, July, Aug, Sep, Oct.---

What you need to do is sort on the month number BUT display the month name. Here is a technique to do something like that. It doesn't use dates but I think you'll get the idea.
