Don't forget, key order is also important in WHERE clauses.  For example, 
you may have a file with 90+% of the records have an "active record code 
field" with a value of "A" and a few records with a value of "D".  A 
simple example is an item master.  While the item number should be a 
unique key, you may also want a key with active record code and then the 
item number.  This way you can sort by the item number for all active 
records.  Maybe this is what you are seeing?
