Re: ars_GetListEntry

[Miriam Y. <mir...@gs...>]

I would like to sort on an integer field and I use the following piece of code
in my cgi script:

$counter= ars_GetFieldByName($ctrl, $schema, "Total Log Count");
    if(!defined $counter){
        &error_routine("Unable to retrieve field id for Total Log Count:\
                        $ars_errstr");
    }
    %entries = ars_GetListEntry($ctrl, $schema, $qual, 0, $counter, 2);

But when I print out the results the entries aren't in sorted order - why would
that occur???

Thanks alot.

Miriam
