Based on record suggestion with Zimmerman I added multiple records with same last name.

The previous and next hit the first one then skip the rest. Tried concatenating other fields but that did not work. Nothing I looked at preserved the order.

Am looking into cursors and stored procedures or stored functions.

Sending the unique record id to the procedure which would return the unique record number of the next record the cursor was pointing to after a fetch would be used to load that record into the form.

Update or insert would not involve the SP. That would only be called when scrolling

This is continent on finding out if the curso/fetch honors the ORDER since it only recognizes moving cursor "forward".
