hi...new to the group

i have a problem that has been puzzling me for awhile...

i'm writing a new solution which has a portal being used as a queue. i want to sort the portal by different fields by clicking on a header above the listed items very similar to a finder window or windows window. i define this sort order of course in the "define relationship" dialog, but that means i have to change the actual relationship to sort differently, which of course means making lots of layouts with the new portal, lots of duplicating and rewriting scripts. i'm allergic to all of that duplication and changing! also, i want different users sharing the same related file to all have their own sort order.

can anyone help me?

thanks

Either do not use a portal, since you cannot independantly sort the columns or send the user to the related file in a list view.
