    Hi,

    Any info on how to sort and rank 4 columns at the same time.

    I have 4 columns

    Select Salary, TransAllowance, HouseAllw, Cash from Payroll

    1st column should be asc - the first will get number 1 pts

    2nd column should be asc - 1 first will get number 1 pts

    2 will get 2 pnts

    last will get the last number of recound cnt

    3rd column should be desc - opposite of 1 and 2 columns

    4th column should be asc - same as 1st column

    Result :

    Record 1 1,000 (1pt) 500 (1pts) 2,000 (1 pts)

    Record 2 1,500 (2pt) 800 (2pts) 1,000 (2 pts)

    Thanks
