Sorting Items on a Screen

[Martin McDonough]

If you've got omnidex from disc, it isn't a problem, you'll just need some
extra code in the postpath procedure.

other options are to use quiz or qtp in the initialize procedure of the
screen to create an indexed subfile, and access the subfile instead.

finally, you could change it to detail set.

Martin.
