Up to three fields can be specified in a hierarchical order (1st sort key = dominant sort criterion, ...). The arrangement is done in the alphabetical or numerical order of the field entries (see WARNINGS below). Check 'Reverse' below a field selection box to reverse the sort criterion (i.e. sort from big to small). Missing fields are ALWAYS sorted behind existing fields, then they'll be sorted by the next sort criterion. NOTES None EXAMPLES None WARNINGS To sort entries in numerical order make sure that the field is a numerical field (see LINK{spaf_convert.hlp}). Example for which sorting a non-numerical field might lead to unexpected results: numerical field: 981 < 1277 string field "981" > "1277" BUGS No bugs known
