Re: Sort records in subfile

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrik,

It looks like you have received quite a few good suggestions.  The most 
important contribution I 
have is to encapsulate your sorting/sql/user index/etc. code into a reusable 
module.  That way 
you don't have continually re-invent the wheel.  For examples of encapsulated 
sorting & user 
indexes (both are supported) you might look at the October 1999 issue of 
Midrange Computing.  
For an example of encapsulated dynamic SQL procedures, you might look at the 
December 1999 
issue of  Midrange Computing.

I would tend toward the SQL solution because it will be the most flexible, 
apply to the most 
situations, and can be used to quickly build very dynamic applications.  The 
main drawback is 
the database overhead, which can be minimized through the use of pre-built 
indexes and tuning.

Hi all :-)

How are you doing today ?

trying to give to user chance, when listing in a subfile, to see the records
sorted ...

Thank you and wish a nice day :-)
