AH HA! You *DO* understand!
:-)
Is there a way to do that via sql?

another way of saying the same thing...via very "pseudo" code
If F1 = '1n' Or F1 = '4B' then
'Order By F2'
Else
...some sql to produce the posted results for '2L' and '3R'
For Each Distinct F2
'Order By F1
Next F2
End If


Try this query:

Select F1, F2
From (
Select F1, F2,
IIf(F1='1n', 1, IIf(F1='4b',3,2)) As Ord1,
IIf(F1='1n' or F1='4b', F1, 100-Val(F2)) As Ord2
From TableName
)
Order By Ord1, Ord2, F1, F2 Desc

I was hoping you'd stop by
