custom order value list for + and -

[iHeartFM]

Hi,

I created a value list consisting of +, -, d. I'm tyring to sort in the order +, d, - but despite defining the list in that order, the sort is not working. Does anyone know of some special rules that apply to using non-alphabets in these lists and how to fix it?

Thanks!

For sorting FileMaker ignores non-alphanumeric characters unless you change the sort language to ASCII.

- Change the value list order to "+, d, -"

- In the Sort dialogue box...

Change the sort language to: ASCII

Set the sort order to: Custom order based on value list...
