I have a portal with title's & names.

i have specified a sort order for the portal based on value list from another file.

the sort it returns is alphabetical.

when i change the sort order to ascending or descending the sort function works fine.

when i select any sort order found in the "specify" box it does not seem to recognize the list and defaults to a alphabetical order.

this has only occured since migrating to 7. it worked perfect in 5.5

any thoughts??

Its a bug, I saw a post about this problem several weeks ago.

To workaround it, you can create a value list in your interface file that uses the other file's fields.

thanks for your insight. i thought i was going crazy.
