Options
• Perform without dialog prevents display of a dialog box when the script step executes that
lets the user enter a different set of sort instructions.
• Select Specify sort order or click Specify to create a sort order and store it with the script
step. When Specify sort order is not selected, FileMaker
Pro uses the most recently
executed sort instructions.
• Select Keep records in sorted order to place a new or changed record that’s in sorted
order into the adjusted order after the record is committed. When this checkbox is
deselected, new or changed records stay in the same position in the sort order until a find
request is performed or the records are sorted by different criteria.
