Sorting by number of characters in record (order from shortest to longest)

Hi guys. I searched the forums on this, but either this hasn't been dealt with or I typed the wrong keywords. I'd appreciate your help...

When working with a large list of domain names, it is sometimes useful to order from shortest domain names to longest. I have a FMP database with thousands of domains. Is there an easy way to sort the domains by record length? Thanks, Tim

Just add a calculation field (result is Number) =

Length (yourDomainField)

and sort by this field.
