The current possible values are: text|svg-lcname|imagedata|imagefile|color|boolean|autoincrement Allowing the addition of 'numeric' and 'datetime' would at least allow a mapping to sorts although sort support 'international' (perhaps should be the default for a polygrid column of type "text" and "binary". I am also not sure how svg-iconname, imagedata, imagefile, and color should sort. Perhaps svg-iconname should sort as "text". Bolean can sort as "text" since ascending puts "false" first and descending puts "true" first. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
