Hi Gary, Just to clarify my question as there are two previous QSO views in DXbase. The Previous QSO Toolbar does show calls sorted by date. The Previous QSOs window I am wanting to sort on the date is the one that I use to maintain my QSL cards/information, sorry I did include the 's' in QSOs with my first question so I can see why the confusion.
The real reason I had asked was, last night when I imported my LoTW data there were a number of stations that I have worked in contests that use the whole word SAINT and not ST in the county column. When I go to correct these entries I have to manually scroll through all these entries to find the correct date. Actually the same when I receive a QSL card, often I have to do a manual search to find those entries. Searching by date world vastly speed up manual updating for me and I am sure others who have large logbooks and high volumes of QSL cards. I was hoping there was something I had overlooked in the DXb help file that would allow for date sorts in Previous QSOs.
