Sorting Records

You can sort records in OmniForm based on the ascending, descending, or original
order of specific fields. For example, you could sort invoices by date to find the
most delinquent accounts.
To sort records:
1. Open a form in OmniForm Filler.
2. Choose Sort... in the Records menu.
The Sort dialog box appears.
3. Select the field that you want to sort in the Field Name drop-down list.
All the fields in your form are in this list.
4. Select the desired sort order:
Select Ascending Order to sort records from least to greatest. For
example, from A–Z or from 0–100. Symbols precede numbers and
numbers precede letters: $40, 40, Forty.
Select Descending Order to sort records from greatest to least. For
example, from Z–A or from 100–0. Letters precede numbers and numbers
precede symbols: Forty, 40, $40.
Select Original Order Entered after sorting by one of the previous
options to return records to the order in which they were originally
entered.
5. Click OK.
OmniForm sorts the records in the specified order.
