ABC: New sort order for a browse

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I looked at the Solodex example I realized that's too much like work. However using standard ABC methods I managed to come up with a much more elegant solution. Instead of trying to build a dynamic index I used the Browse Manager and View manager methods to simply add a new sort order based on no key and no step class, then I used AppendOrder to add my new sort string as the current order and reset from file and it works like a champ. This is the code that does the important stuff: NewOrder = BRW1.AddSortOrder(,) BRW1.ApplyOrder BRW1.AppendOrder(Clip(NewSortOrder)) BRW1.ApplyOrder BRW1.ResetFromFile LOC:IndexBuilt = True ThisWindow.Reset() Then in the ResetSort method embed, priority first, because I have other tabs with conditional sorts that would override this one: IF Choice(?CurrentTab) = 3 AND LOC:IndexBuilt AND NewOrder > 0 RETURN SELF.SetSort(NewOrder,Force) End -- Jim Katz
