The present invention is related to a method, system and computer program for processing, on a data table, a command comprising one or a plurality of order oriented criterias. The data table is defined as a structured multidimensional range of cells comprising one or a plurality of fields defined as a range of cells along a first dimension; and a plurality of records defined as a range of cells structured according to one or a plurality of fields along a second dimension. The method comprises the steps of receiving a command comprising means for identifying a data table and a specified field in the data table; one or more cell content criterias and one or more order oriented criterias, each order oriented criteria specifying a range of ranks according to a reference record complying with one or plurality of cell content criterias in the data table; processing one or plurality of cell content criterias on the specified one or plurality of fields of the data base and selecting the records complying with the processed one or plurality of cell content criterias; determining, from a given first selected record in the data table, the rank of each selected record along the first dimension and entering the rank in a temporary field defined for each selected record; converting the one or plurality of order oriented criterias in a new cell content criteria to apply on the temporary field; processing the new cell content criteria on the temporary field of the selected records and identifying the records complying with the new cell content criteria; returning the result of the received command, computed from the cells belonging to the field specified in the command, and the records identified among the selected records.
