I would like to manualy sort records in a portal by draging the record to the row I want it to be. After that the portal has to sort itself in the new situation. (like aranging lines in a FMP script) The last part (sort) I can figure out myself how to do it. The draging (& release) part I do not know. The closest solution I know is a template file called 'clicksort' for an older version of FMP.

There is a sample file at Database Pros site that did this in an earlier version. To see it, go to this URL

and search for [color:"blue"] Portal Row Movement

Thanks Lee but that's not what I mean. Too many mouse clicks!

I really mean drag & sort like in Filemaker scriptmaking with the two sided arrow. Just drag the arrow up or down, a line appears that follows your mouse movement and when you release the mousebutton the line drops at the place you released it right between two other lines.

I want to drag a portalrow up or down over the other rows in the portal. When I release the mousebutton the row has to place itself where I released it. (the portal resorts)

There may be a plug-in to help accomplish this, but I daresay there is no way to do it within FileMaker with a single click. You'll need at least two: one to select the row to be moved and one to select the row above or below which the original row is to be moved. I use modifier keys to determine which is to be used (Shift-click moves a highlighted row above and Ctrl-click moves a highlighted row below the row that receives the second click).
