wrong order when sorting join - query result

Hi Im using access 2000. and I have a strange problem.

when I execute a query on TABLE_A (TABLE_A contains 2 colums: "id"
INTEGER and "name" MEMO)
Query1:
"select id, name from TABLE_A ORDER BY name" . I get my results OK
:-)

when I extend the query and make a join with TABLE_B (conatins 2
coulmd "ref_to_tab leA" INTEGER and "value" INTEGER)
Query2:

"select id, name from TABLE_A, TABLE_B where ref_to_tableA=i d ORDER BY
name"

I get the same results but nor ordered!!! it looks like the data is
ordered in 'CHUNKS'. for example I get

id name
---- -----
1 d
4 d1
5 d2
3 a
2 aa
6 c
7 c1

TABLE_A has somthing about 35K records.
TABLE_B has somthing about 2M records.

when I get the bad results from Query2 and try to resort it by right
click on the 'name' column and choose sort, It doest work either.

another point (dont know if it is important) the 'name' columns is
unix-file-name so its values are /usr/bin/.....

any help will be appriciated.

As I understand it, Jet SQL does not support sorting on memo fields. So
the real question is why it worked at all.

Looks like you'll have to find/create a different sort field.

10x for the answer (I didnt know that) - but any wy I need to store
String values (longer than 255 chars) - what are my options?

You can store whatever you want, obviously.
But are you saying you really need to SORT on more than 255 characters?

I would just create an extra field in my query containing the first 'n'
characters from the memo field, and sort on that.

10x, but I still cant understand why it works without the join?
I also check that if I remove some of the records ( both tables with
1K records) it work OK even with join - how come ???

postgres 7.3.2 I store unicode-data in postgresql. The data is retrieved via webinterfaces, processed with perl and then stored in postgresql (and viceversa). All is going nice with one problem. If performing a "select * order by field"-query the result is not what I expected. German umlauts (ie: Ö) are stored as doublechars ("Ö" is "Ö") and only the first char seems to be taken into account when sorting.

Ok, you have three tables.
