> Hi! I love your Pilot-DB program! I just have one question, though: is it possible to sort one column and then do a subsorting on a second column? That is, can I sort the first column (say, alphabetically) and then have the database retain the first column's sorting while I sort a second column , say, numerically? Thanks!

I do not have a pilot nor an emulator installed currently, so I can't
test.
You can try using scripts. Read the file docs/scripts.txt for info.
Basically you write a script like
(sort 1 1 3 1)
I do not recall if you can run it manually from the menu, but you can
make a view run it, and so create a view which calls it and choose that
view for sorting.
