Hi Gerald,

     You were saying:

I have done this several times myself, and the result is always the same: out 
of date order recovery.

 GM> I had thought about using a text editor to physically move

 GM> very labor intensive task)

An almost impossible task for a text editor since the file is binary and 
intimately linked to the .sqb, .sql and .sqi files.

If such exists it would be welcome here as well.  I've never seen anything to 
do that though.  SQREIDX.EXE is Squish's rebuild index utility, but I don't 
think it will change the date order.

Best regards,
Marc
