ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 155
Notes
• 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.
• Server-side scripts and Custom Web Publishing run this script step as if the With dialog
option is set to Off, so you must use the Specify sort order option to save the sort order in
this script step.
Example 1
Goes to the Invoices layout, performs a find, sorts the records, then goes to the first record in the
found set.
Go to Layout ["Invoices"]
Perform Find [Restore]
Sort Records [Restore; With dialog: Off]
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
