two level make table query and sorting???

[tcek]

I am creating a table with a "make table" query. I want to query by customer
number than by date of order. I want the customer number to be ascending
while the date of order to be descending. I can make the query perform the
desired functions but when the table is made the sort order is not like it
should be. I want the table to look just like the query. Any advice would
help.

Okay, I'll do my best John Vinson impersonation...

"Tables are UNORDERED collections of records." If you want the records
sorted a specific way, use a Query - that's what they're for.

Don't try!
Access stores data records like a barrel of bricks, jumbled.

Use a query or report to do your sorting.
