How do I wright a script that will sort a portal? There doesn't seem to be a way. Am I just missing it?

If you always want the portal to sort in the same order, you have two choices: (1) sort the relationship or (2) sort using the portal properties.

(1) Double-click on the relationship btw the parent and the TO for the portal. Use the Sort by button.

(2) Double-click the portal in layout mode. Set the sort properties for the portal.

If you want to sort the portal on the fly, e.g. by date vs. by priority, you have two choices:

1. Old school: sort on a calculated field

2. Newthink: use a tab panel

- Put a copy of the portal on each tab, but each sorted differently as Ms. Cooney described above in (2).

- Give each tab an Object Name.

- In FM9 you can give the tabs a fixed width of 0 so they'll be hidden

- In your script, use Go to Object to go to the desired tab
