RE: Sort DDS screen specs by screen position

When you are editing the screen with SDA, press F4 to get a list of fields,
then F6 to sort the fields.  But be careful:  If the screen is
program-described you will need to update the beginning and ending positions
manually.  Not a pretty process if there are many fields, or it's an
old-school array subfile kind of thing.

Subject: Sort DDS screen specs by screen position

I seem to recall being able to do this but have been unable to find anything
on it, am I crazy? (never mind that last part, thats a given).
 
We have a # of lg/complicated screens that have been modified extensively
(using SDA) in the past so the order in the DDS does not even come close to
matching the order they appear on the screen (i.e. src seq 100 has fld that
is on line 15 position 12, seq 200 line 8 position 35, seq 300 line 123 pos
40).  Would be NICE if the order in the DDS matched the order on the actual
compiled screen.
