RE: [pilot-db-list] sort a list

[BURBAN D. <dom...@fr...>]

Thanks you for your help.

However, I had already used this possibility to have a list sorted but for 
me I don't understand interest of list if we can't sort it. More over, it's 
not  really easy to organise all link list created in the future when you 
have a lot database.

In the meantime you can work aroud this using
link fields instead of list fields.

Put your list in a separate table.
Then sort this table.

The sort order of the separate table
will still be in effect when you select
values for the link field.

At least it was when I tried this.
