Sequential Number on sorted list

Featured Replies

I have two fields I wish to sort in ascending order.

LastName and TypeOfAd

LastName contains a list of surnames and TypeOfAd contains either Black and White or Color.

I view this with View as List.

Is it possible (after the sort is done) to have a field that will automatically contain a sequential number starting at 1.

Try putting the @@ symbols on the layout.

Thanks Ender.

Worked a treat.

Maybe I am blind but I searched the help file but could not find

any reference to @@.

In layout mode, under Insert, Insert Record Number.

Then, when you sort, no matter how you sorted, the first number in your list, is always 1 and so on.
