Export sort order

[GlennC]

Hello,

Does FM correctly remember the sort order for exports? I have 2 saved exports activated by script, involving different fields and different sort orders. I have checked the relevant restore sort order/save sort order boxes in the process. I have done this many times using the import function, and am doing the same thing now with these exports, but FM won't rembember the sorts and fields properly. I've double checked the 'save sort order'. Do I need to manually do the sort first or what?

Thanks.

Yes, you have to manually do the export first THEN include it into the script you are writing. Make sure that you restore the Export Orer is checked.

It remembers export order, but, as I recall, you still have to do a sort before exporting. Otherwise the records will go out in the current order.

That seems to be it. I've included a sort with a saved sort order before the export in the export script, and all is good.

Thanks for the help.
