It is my bad behavior that I don't know what version you are using? Shame on me.
I should have used my intuition.
Shame on me.
You are an "Oracleguru" so why should you have posted that info?

And exactly what was the "problem" you were asking for help on? Oh shame on me I should have used my intuition to ferret that out too.

Here's what you wrote and I quote:
"I'm having a problem in order by non database columns in oracle forms. Anybody have any solution for the same."

Please point out to all exactly how from this one can determine what the problem is by intuition. The only tsunami around here I have seen is the lack of personal responsibility by persons expecting others to help them for free.
