I have an existing session that the users now want to display in a different sort order. The index exists that they need and I have made it a valid sort option on the form. They can click on Order and change to this index. The problem is they want this to be the default sort order. When I go the the Change Key form it says the key that is set as 1 will be the start option. I have set this as the first option but it is not the start option when the session is run. Does anybody know why this is? Is there a way around it?
Thanks

As far as I know that is how you change the sort option. You pick the indexes allowed and then pick which one is first. Is this session in shared memory or something? Maybe a create runtime data dictionary is needed on the session.

Interesting - just tried it on a test system with tipgc5120m00b and it does not want to change off the primary index. I deleted user defaults, convert(and created) rdd, log off and back in, all with no effect on how the session starts.

Interesting - if I change the sort order to 2,3,1,4,5 (see the attached) the session starts with index 2. Yet if I look at the order I still see one as being checked - second image. Evidently I do not know how this works - and here I thought I did. :)

It does work - if you see the DESCRIPTION of the sort order it does show by Supplier, etc.

You are 100% correct it did work! My mind must be on my vacation next week - 2 more days and then 9 days without thinking about this place. Please excuse my senile lapse.

Well, I deleted the defaults and converted/created rdd and it still isn't working. It reorders the options, but still has the primary key as the start up option.

The Change Order is meaningful mostly in Form Type 1 or Form Type 2. If you have Form Type 3, with say 2 view fields, then the Change Order is meaningful only as long as the 2 view fields remain the same in the other indexes.
