I'm enjoying using the Braille-sense's database but have been
unable to find how to sort on the primary key. I now have only
25 records, so scrolling up and down the list is still
practicable, though inefficient. There will, however, come a
time when the number of records making scrolling through all
titles just to find one will be really time-consuming.
Sense a particular field is designated as the primary key, is
there a way to sort on this key so that the records are presented
in alphabetical order?
When I first wanted to browse the records I had entered, I looked
in the manual and help files but found no explanation of how to
do this. By experiment I found that if I went to the search
function and simply hit enter for the title, the database would
display all entered records. But it displays them in the order
they were entered. This is handy if you want to know the first
or second record you entered, or if you want to know the order in
which records were entered, or if you want to know the last
record you entered. But it's not handy at all for finding a
particular record quickly when you don't know whether it was
entered early or late in the database's construction.
Have I missed something, or is the ability to sort on the primary
key a feature which needs to be requested? If so, GW, please
consider this such a request. [smile]
