Work record / ID

[Francois Blom-Peters]

Hello,

I just started using hypernomicon and I have a small issue. When I enter a record, it automatically becomes the first record in the list, so that record n° and record ID are reversed. (eg a new record will be "Record: 1 of 10 ID: 10"). This problem only appeared after I entered my first 2 works and 1 author. The first 2 debates I previously entered were recorded correctly (record number and ID matches).

Thank you for your work, it looks like it will be extremely helpful.

Hi Francois, this is because records are ordered alphabetically by name/title. If you create a new record that doesn't have a name or title yet, it will come alphabetically before ones that do have a name, so it will be "Record 1 of XX" regardless of ID number. If you want to see works listed by ID number, you can do that by selecting the Queries tab, then selecting "work records" in the Query Type column, "list all records" in the Query column, and clicking "Execute". If you want to navigate to a work with a specific ID number, in the Works tab type the ID number in the ID field and hit enter.

Also, notice that if you change the name/title of a record and click "Accept Edits", the record may now be changed to a different numerical position, if it now occupies a different position in alphabetical order as a result of the change.
