No, the fastest way would be to sort in the Query or SQL you use as Record
Source for the Form, I suspect. I don't give the users "datasheet view" in
the database applications I prepare, because there are so many things that a
user can (inadvertently) do that will cause trouble.
Generally, datasheet view is useful for end-users, not for developed
application and the "Windows Way" is to let the user have control of their
own desktop unless there is compelling reason to not do so. I can't think of
a compelling reason not to allow this, if it is what the user wants to do.
