I am helping a co-worker with a problem, and we are both new Access users.  
The problem is within a subform.  In the past, I was able to enter new
records into the form and they would remain in the same order in which I
typed them.  Recently, my co-worker asked for my help when the records he
enters move automatically to the top of the subform and no matter what I do
to try and move them back to the bottom, they automatically move to the top.

My co-worker suggests that it could be because he copy and pasted some
records from one form to another.

How do I fix this problem so that the records I type remain in the order in
which I type them?  Thank you.

You can set the Order By property of the form being used as a Subform.You can do this by opening the form in Design view
and entering the relevant Field name in the Order By box (on the Data tab). You can also enter DESC after the field name
to sort Descending (the default is Ascending) ... so to sort Descending by a field named lngMyIDField:

Order By         lngMyIDField DESC

See the online help topic for more info.
