Subject: Re: How to sort on any field? 

Hi Andrea and thank you soo much  for your kind and prompt reply! I believe the issue will be solved as I have the information I need to proceed. I was just wanting to verify that sorting indeed is alloud on ALL fields.  I cannot send the exact config as it is a work project, but I can replicate with fake fields and data if necessary in the future. I believe my errors are because I am either using field names which are 'special' to the system, or some other limitation. I will try compiling and see if that helps.

Sorting does work fine, if you do it correctly. From your post I cannot even guess what you've tried - let alone tell you what you did wrong.

Please post your config, some example entries and a description of what you've tried, what you expected to happen and what actually happened. Screenshots are often very useful as well.

Hi, I was wondering if this is possible. I've tried to sort on anything other than the first few fields and although the screen refreshes like it is 'doing something', it does NOT sort. Sometimes it will take me to the last page of my data, but still no sorting. I use Debian Linux verson of Elog. There have been no other issues. I need to figure out how to do this without parsing it to another program first. Thanks again for this wonderful program :)
