Sort problem

[john9210]

I use a script to sort records in list view. However, when I create a new record, enter data in the first field and then tab to the next field the records automatically sort before I finish entering data. This is a real pain for entering data. I have "keep records in sort order" unchecked. However when I check it, the records still continue to resort. How can I stop this?

You should not commit the record until your data entry is not finished. I would suggest to set up tab orders for all the files so you can easily navigate between fields without committing. 

As soon as you commit the sort will trigger.

How do I avoid committing. I have a tab order that goes from the first field in the record to the next field, etc. I'm in List view trying to create new records and continue with data entry. Does this make sense? As far as I know, I'm not commiting any records until I create a new record.

Do you have any script trigger on any of the fields causing the commit?

Thanks for the tip Siroos. I forgot that I had a script trigger on the first field. I removed it and that solved my problem.

Happy that you could solve it.

Please mark the correct answe.

Good luck.
