texte = I have a field (Library) that I summarize to display a table of thumbnailsof the libraries. I add files to some of the libraries periodically, and Iwant to sort by descending date, so the libraries with the most recentadditions float to the top.Using ...&detruedatesort=1&librarysumm=t sorts almost correctly, exceptthat it uses the date value of the first alphabetical library record, so ifI add new entries, unless the first alphabetical entry is one of the newones, that library won't float to the top.Using ... &dlibrarysort=1&detruedatesort=2&librarysumm=t just sorts themalphabetically.Using ... &detruedatesort=1&dlibrarysort=2&librarysumm=t sorts them likethe first example.Am I overlooking something here?Thanks,Terry WilsonTerry Wilsonterryw@rainbowcreek.com
