Who can help me with the BIG problem I have. (probably easy to solve)

The problem is this:

I have a table in the order in which it is inputted (paradox). into my
program. Now I need to make two sets of files out of this. One set has to
be orderderd like this:

Province        town
gr              (alphabetical)
fr              (alphabetical)
dr              (alphabetical)
ov              (alphabetical)
ge              (alphabetical

etc.....

The second set has to be ordered in this order:

Group           Item
(alphabetical)  (alphabetical)

Now I'm going to make a text-file for each record in the table. In that
file I have to put general data, plus a notification of:

The previous record in set 1, the next record in set 1, the previous record
in set 2, the next record in set 2

How do I acomplish this in the easiest way? I haven't made normal indexes
before either, so if some basic knowledge is required, please include that
in your answer.

Thanks to all who want to help me!

Yours Sincerly
