RE: Secondary Keys

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the information on the screen contains a relatively small number of
records, you could load the subfile from an array with overlays and sort on
the subfields.  This gives you the potential ability to sort the subfile on
any column or group of contiguous columns.
