Order

Order allows you to sort the database. It shows the names of the columns so you can choose them as sort keys. It is in fact the same selection process as is used in Project (section ).

You can select a column and delete it again later. The ranking of each selected column is shown. You can increment and decrement the ranking of a column. With show you can get the current rank list. Finish selection with finish. Select TAB (or exit) if you don't want to Order after all.

When you don't select any fieldname as a sortkey, records will be sorted in lexicographical order.

The list of deleted records, kept for later retrieval, is not modified by sort.
