Hide Object when sorted by

[Matthew R White]

I'm trying to hide a certain field when the table is Sorted by - field

Is this at all possible?

You could evaluate the sort state of the record with Get ( SortState ).

Only way i can think of is to reconstruct a scripted version of the filemaker sort functionality and set a flag that the field/object hide condition could evaluate.

If you mean hide it when records are sorted by a specific field, no. But you could place it in a sub-summary part; a sub-summary part is shown only when records are sorted by the breakfield associated with the part.

If you make your sort part of a script also create a $$variable and use the hide option based on the variable.

That would work in one direction, but not the other.
