Subject Re: order by column index

Sorry

I typed in the word COLUMN incorrectly. It shouldn't have been in my
first post.

From what I can see Firebird doesn't seem to have a problem with the
column index being used in the order by clause. I am testing
IBOConsole and it might be specific to this. I am going to test
through my own C++ Builder project and see if I can run existing
queries.

It seems that I have been running Interbase all the time anyway and
need to replace the gds32.dll file to be truly running Firebird.
