Abi,
The output you show doesn't make any sense. A column of data can either be sorted ascending or descending. For your first column, ascending order would be 0263753, 1747870, 1757970 and descending order would be 1757970, 1747870, 0263753, but you show 1747870, 1757970, 0263753 which is NOT in ascending or descending order.
Code:
SORT FIELDS=(1,7,CH,A,9,5,CH,D,14,5,CH,D)
will work fine if you want the first column in ascending order and the second and third columns in descending order.
Code:
SORT FIELDS=(1,7,CH,D,9,5,CH,D,14,5,CH,D)
will work fine if you want all three columns in descending order.
If neither of those give you what you want, then you need to explain what exactly it is you want.
