Rearranging the order of entries

[Benjamin Soffer (SLF)]

Thanks, Maf, but I don't see an option for selecting a secondary sort.  The secondary sort appears to be built in -- it is the chronological order in which the items were entered.  I wish there was a way to override that by selecting an entry and moving it up or down (at least within the primary sort criterion).  Perhaps this capability will be implemented in the future.

Hi Ben,

If you aren't using the NUM field for anything already, I believe that you can sort on that as a secondary to the date sorting. 

Otherwise, I don't think there is a way to do what you want.

HTH,
