Sorting records with related fields
For general information on sorting records, see “Sorting records” on
page 4-29.
You can sort on related fields when you sort records in the master file.
When you sort on a related field, the value from the first related record
FileMaker Pro finds in the related database is used for sorting unless you
specify otherwise. (See “Sorting related records” below.)
1. In the Sort Records dialog box, choose a relationship from the
relationship drop-down list.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
