that field. You don't need to use the Enter Browse Mode script step or Go to Record/Request/Page
script step after using Sort Records.
Each Sort Records script step can store a unique sort order; the sorting instructions are stored with
the step, not the script. You can use this step several times within the same script and store a
different sort order for each occurrence.
Note Items in the sort order that aren’t valid when the script step is performed are ignored. When
you specify a sort order in a database containing multiple tables, FileMaker
Pro stores the table
name for each sort field in the sort order. For example, a sort order using the Last Name field of the
Contacts table is stored in the sort order as Contacts::Last Name. If the Sort Records script step is
performed when a table other than Contacts is the active table, Contacts::Last Name cannot be
evaluated, and is ignored in the sort order.
Examples
