Sort Column Area Procedure
Occasionally it becomes necessary to re-sort the column area of a form. A built-in VersaForm procedure called "colsort" allows you to sort by up to three (3) columns. Here is an example that would sort the column area by the "Date" field first and, if the date is the same, by the "Code" field second.
After the open parentheses the first item is the file - "a" (the first open file). The next item is the name of the first sort field - "Date", after that is the order of the sort (+ for ascending, - for descending) - "+". The next two items are for the sort order under date (two or more dates that are the same), and the last two items would be the sort order under "Code" (two or more "Codes" that are the same).
Here is the same procedure re-written to sort the column area first by "Code" and then "Date":
Use these examples to create procedures to sort your column areas to meet your needs.
