I am running into an issue of some records not sorting the same way.  The user's UI has a portal viewing some related records; this portal is sorted by two fields.  However, it doesn't appear that the 2nd field is having the correct sorting affect.

This same table, when viewed in Table view with the same found set, and then sorted by these two fields, does appear to correctly sort.

The relationship for the portal isn't itself sorted, so I can't seem to discern where the issue is.  I have attached screen shots of the Table view (along with it's applied sorting options), and the portal (showing both the records as viewed, and then one with the sorting options).

This is in FM11.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks,

Justin

Doh!  Just figured it out.  Reply from PhilModJunk on the FM groups noted that the sort options really aren't the same.  That made them at least sort the same way.  The problem with the apparent inaccurate sorting ("B-5" coming before "B-4") is that the second sort field is of 'number' type, so the "B" is lost, leaving the "-5" and "-4"...and for ascending, "-4" is larger that "-5" so "-5" comes first. 

Doh!!
