Do not sort records
If you do not want users to sort data in the Web browser, select Do not
sort records. This can help speed up access for those who are using your
database. Data is not sorted when it appears on the Web, and the Sort
button does not appear.
User defines sorting
If you want to let the user define how data is sorted, select User defines
sorting by specified fields in the browser. You specify the fields (including
fields from related files) on which the user can sort.
For information on specifying sort fields, see “Sorting records” on
page 4-29.
Note If a user sorts the data in a particular order, it does not affect the
record order for other users on the Web.
Predefine sorting by specified fields before downloading
If you would like to automatically sort records before the user sees them,
select Predefined sorting by specified fields before downloading to the
browser. Then specify the sort order. (You can include related fields in
this sort order.)
The Web user sees the data sorted in the order the fields appear in the
Sort Order list, and the Sort button does not appear.
You can choose either ascending or descending order. You can also
choose to have data sorted by a custom order based on a value list. The
data are sorted in the same order they appear in a predefined value list.
For information on specifying a sort order, see “Sorting records” on
page 4-29.
