Sorted Layouts

Rattlesnake · January 20, 2003

hi,

I am using Filemaker 5.5

When i display reports in FM they are not sorted according to the selection i made when i created the layout.

I have used the "Sort" step in the script, but still they are displayed unsorted.

How do i ensure that the reports are sorted ?

Thanks

Hi,

Do a manual sort. Then go to your script and open it. Make sure you have perform without dialog checked and the restore sort order checked.

Click OK, and you will see an option that has Sort Order, Keep or Replace. Check the replace option.

This will now replace the sort order that was saved with this new one.

Whenever you want to keep a sort order do it manually first, then go and write your script straight away.
