SortType Question

[tdocs2]

Greetings.

Case:
Sort a list containing type p with two fields Fname, Lname

Question:
1. How to sort by Fname within Lname?
2. Does SortType allow for 2 fields?

Or is this the only solution?
Use Sorttype twice - first sort by Fname then by Lname

Thank you for all of your help.

Thank u - question is still outstanding

Thank you, mj.

The question is how to sort a list that contains a Type, for example, person with first name, last name, etc. as fields.

The question is whether SortType can sort on two fileds or is my solution of sorting twice the answer - sort first name within last name - Abel Smith will be sorted before Mary Smith...

Best regards.

SortType can only sort on a single field. You will need to sort the list twice (or create another field that holds both values).

Thank u Erel

Thank u, Erel.

That is what I did - sorted twice but considered the idea of combining the two fields.

Best regards.
