Sort Records
Purpose
Sorts the records in the current found set according to specified criteria.
Format
Sort Records [Restore; No dialog]
Options
• Perform without dialog prevents display of a dialog box when the script step executes that
lets the user enter a different set of sort instructions.
• Select Specify sort order or click Specify to create a sort order and store it with the script
step. When Specify sort order is not selected, FileMaker Pro uses the most recently
executed sort instructions.
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Find the records you want to sort (using Perform Find script step or Show All Records script step)
before using this script step. If you sort a repeating field, FileMaker Pro sorts on only the first entry in
that field. You don't need to use the
Enter Browse Mode script step or Go to Record/Request/Page
script step after using Sort Records.
Each Sort Records script step can store a unique sort order; the sorting instructions are stored with
the step, not the script. You can use this step several times within the same script and store a
different sort order for each occurrence.
