FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 93
Note Items in the sort order that aren’t valid when the script step is performed are ignored. When
you specify a sort order in a database containing multiple tables, FileMaker Pro stores the table
name for each sort field in the sort order. For example, a sort order using the Last Name field of the
Contacts table is stored in the sort order as Contacts::Last Name. If the Sort Records script step is
performed when a table other than Contacts is the active table, Contacts::Last Name cannot be
evaluated, and is ignored in the sort order.
Examples
Go to Layout ["My sort layout"]
Show All Records
Sort Records [Restore; No dialog]
