The description of what you are trying to do is not
totally clear to me.  However, I believe that if you
want to use the @af in selection processing you need
to sort on the associated field, and associate that
sort with your output format.  The easiest way to do
that would be to just enter the associated field name
as the primary sort on the output format.
