texte = I have a field (Library) that I summarize to display a table of thumbnails of the libraries. I add files to some of the libraries periodically, and I want to sort by descending date, so the libraries with the most recent additions float to the top.Using ...&detruedatesort=1&librarysumm=t sorts almost correctly, except that it uses the date value of the first alphabetical library record, so if I add new entries, unless the first alphabetical entry is one of the new ones, that library won't float to the top.Using ... &dlibrarysort=1&detruedatesort=2&librarysumm=t just sorts them alphabetically.Using ... &detruedatesort=1&dlibrarysort=2&librarysumm=t sorts them like the first example.Am I overlooking something here?Thanks,Terry WilsonTerry Wilson terryw@rainbowcreek.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
