sort order

[Diane]

I have two layouts in the same file and I would like to set a different sort order for each layout, but it does not appear to be possible. Is there a script command that allows one to set the sort order?

Any suggestions?

You first set the sort order as you want it. Then there is a script command called "Sort" which will restore the currently set order.

You can repeat this process (one per script) as many times as needed. Thus setting up a bunch of sorting scripts.

Diane,

When you define a script that contains a sort command, you have two options:

sort[Restore,No dialog]

Before you define the script you have to perform the sort (with the order you want).

Later if you want to change the sort order of that script, perform the new sort manually and then replace the sort order in the script.
