I uploaded a fp5 file from a pc to a mac fp5 server. I tried to do a sort and it gave me an error message. I checked on the sort order and it was not there so I redid the sort order and sorted out the data. I then close the file and open it back up and the sort order is gone again. For some reason the sort order is not saved. All the fields are of type text and all are indexed. I took the file off the server checked the sort order and it was there?? Someone Help PLEASE.. Thanks

Is the sort scripted?

I have the sort on a button and I've tried it both ways as a script and as a sort button. Okay I dont know what I did wrong the first time I wrote the script but I redid it again and the sort order stayed after I closed the program. Thanks Vaughan

If you create a scripot that includes the Sort [Restore] step, you can recreate nay sort order. each script can only remember one sort, so to script a process that uses more than one sort you make sub-scripts that contain the different sorts, then perform these sorts in the main script.

Make a script that does the find and sort that you want, and make that script run when people click on the button.
