Gotcha and very cool solution.
makeObjectsPerformSelector quickly sets the amount and then we sort.
And for this client at this stage and at this budget... I will try it!
And ERXS... that was a new one I just learned.
ERXS, ERXKEY, D2W == > a lot less coding/typing.

Depending on how the tables are arranged, you may be able to do it with a single select, but it may not be something you can construct easily with an EOFetchSpecification.
