Hello,

first of all, i would like to say hello to everyone because this is my first post on this forum.

i have made a toggle sort button, so when i click on it it sort Ascending and when i click back on it it sort Descending, my problem is that i would like to change the button text or image when i click on it, so clicking the button would toggle between a upward arrow and a downward arrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

ps: pardon my english, its not my first language.

Toggling is achieved by formatting a field as number exhibiting in boolean, but a script or button formatting is required via an invisible button layered ontop.

This button sets the value of the button as well as going to another pane if you use a self joined portal different directed relational sortings.

You sort of expands this idea:
