Re: Sort records in subfile

I did the same sort of thing but added what I thought was a nice touch. 

The file had 4 fields that a user might want to choose for sorting order 
so I did just as you did and made logicals over the physical file based on 
those fields.  But then in the DDS I made each column's heading an Input 
field (protected) with DFTVAL('the text for the column heading') and upon 
ENTER the DDS returns the field name of the cursor's location to the 
program. 

That way the user can arrow to a column heading or mouse-click the column 
heading and the program gets the Field Name and presents the subfile 
logical for that column.

I just finished a program that has a command key to view the subfile by 
either
in Product Number or Lot Number sequence. If displaying the screen sorted 
by Lot
Number the function key would read (F8=Prod), if the user presses the F8 
key I
just simply read the file by another logical and load a *new subfile*  (in
product number sequence) with the product number as the first field 
displaying
on the screen. And visa-versa, when the user is displaying by Product 
Number,
there is another F8 Key to view the listing sorted by Lot Number.
