Yes, I missed that. That is a tricky one! Off hand, I am pretty sure this will work. But it will not result in a tidy result like you have just mentioned. I am tempted to say that you have to write a PL/SQL block and order it by seqno and check for orderno break and take the count at that point, and then reset the count.

The brute force method is to do this in sqlplus using its formatting and reporting functions.

SQL>break on orderno
SQL>compute count on seqno
SQL>select orderno,seqno from <table>

The output is there, but as mentioned earlier, not the way you want it.

orderno       seqno
LM001              1
                        2
********  --------------
Count               2

and so on with the rest.
