Wingwalker Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I use FMP 7 and would like to be able to show when a field is sorted or unsorted. As an example, I have five different fields on a layout where you click on the name above the field. Click it once and it sorts to a predefined sort, click again and it is unsorted. Is there a way to show the user if a given field is sorted or not? As always, thank you for your help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 You can use a calculation field (unstored, result is text) = Choose ( Get( SortState ) ; "Unsorted" ; "Sorted" ; "Partially sorted" ) If you want, you can make this more sophisticated by setting a global field gSortOrder every time you sort. Then you can combine the two fields so that the layout displays e.g. "Sorted by Name", "Sorted by Date", "Unsorted" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwalker Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi Comment, I'm missing something with the calculation. How do I implement it with the 5 different fields? Do I add it to a script step, or put each field within a calculation? I don't know what to do with what you told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
