[font="Courier New"]I have a query that returns results similar to this:
Name-Order-Item - ItemShipDateTime
Joe - O23 - I11 - 2013-07-29 13:05:00
Jim - O24 - I11 - 2013-07-29 13:07:00
Jim - O24 - I12 - 2013-07-29 13:07:00
Sue - O25 - I21 - 2013-07-29 14:05:00
Sue - O25 - I44 - 2013-07-29 15:55:00
Actually, I'm not interested in the Item. I just want to count when an order is complete, and get counts per hour. The result set above represents three complete orders. Discarding "Item," my unique results would be:
Name-Order-ItemShipDateTime
Joe - O23 - 2013-07-29 13:05:00
Jim - O24 - 2013-07-29 13:07:00
Sue - O25 - 2013-07-29 14:05:00
Sue - O25 - 2013-07-29 15:55:00
So, I'm getting closer to three.
How would I SELECT (or COUNT) only rows that contain the MAX Value in the column ItemShipDateTime field where NAME and ORDER are identical?

Thanks!

Pretty sparse on the details but maybe something like this?
select Name, Order, max(ItemShipDateTime)
from SomeTable
group by Name, Order
If that isn't what you are looking for we will need a few things:
1. Sample DDL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements
2. Sample data in the form of INSERT INTO statements
3. Expected results based on the sample data
