Changing Default Field List in Sort Dialog

by jahn <jahnbigbooty@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 14, 2008 at 08:35 PM

Hello -

I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to the way the sort dialog
opens when users choose Sort Records... (this is FM 9, Mac &
Windows).  The dialog that opens appears to always default to the
Current Layout set of fields rather than Current Table, whereas the
Current Table field set would be much better for my users (organized
according to function with specific sort fields at the top).

I know I can script the sort function using custom menus etc. to
always open with a specific set of fields on the right-hand side, but
that can be frustrating for users who do a custom sort, realize they
wanted it done slightly different and reopen the sort dialog only to
find all the fields they'd dragged over to the right-hand box have
reverted to the scripted default.  Is there a simple work-around so
Current Table always shows in the left-hand box?  Any suggestion would
be great.

Thanks.

-Jahn
