You don't do that from the TIB_LookupCombo. You set up two datasets as
a KeySource-Lookup pair; then you set the DataSource of the Combo to
the Lookup set, and everything works automagically. If you have the
Getting Started Guide, there's a detailed description of how to do
this.

First make sure there's an explicit OrderingItem in effect for the
lookup set ("ORDER BY" in the default SQL is not enough -
OrderingItemNo must not be 0).

Then set the LookupCombo's SearchKeyByKey property to true (and
optionally SeekNearest too).
