Sorting Descending Dates

Featured Replies

I have a conditional valuelist based on a field that shows dates. I need to sort the date values in descending order with the most recent date appearing at the top of the list. But FileMaker wants to keep sorting the values "alphabetically" which puts dates in an ascending order. HELP???!! :

FileMaker will automatically sort value lists from fields. You can try mimicking a value list selection with a popup window. How many selection dates are there?

Unfortunately it varies greatly.

I have been struggling with the same annoying problem for months. Does anyone have a solution where this can be done in a standard a pop-up menu?

I need to create a value list of everyday for the past 30 days sorted in chronological order. I want the most current date to be on the top of the list.
