Greetings,

was wondering if there was an option other than <control> or <field> for the <sortby> tag.

I would like to sort by position in the database for example (FIFO) - is that possible?

If not, what would I have to do to make it possible (if it is something that could be done).

Remove the sortby tag completey. Make sure here is no onSortCompare code doing any order within the windowlist script LUA.

Thank you for the reply. It works ... I should have thought of that.

However is it possible to issue a <sortby> based on a database attribute rather than a field or control?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Not a great loss, I would assume record order is the most common thing for that ... thank you again.
