Hi, Carri.  I am also a former ArcView user, and I'm shocked by MapInfo's
inability to do "on the fly" sorting of browser fields.  Yes, there is a way
to do this, but you have to do a new SQL query to get your sort.  I have not
yet found a way to do what I "think" you want to do (that is, the easy way
that ArcView can do it on the fly simply by rearranging the order of the
rows in a browser window).  There must be some technical limitation inside
of MapInfo...

Subject: MI-L sorting tables


Hello all!

 

I am new to MapInfo, so this may sound like a no-brainer.  Is it
possible to sort tables according to their rows?  This is easy is
ArcView/ArcMap, but I can't seem to figure it out in MapInfo.  Any help
would be great!  Thanks!

 

Carri
