sort selection table

[daN baueR]

Just wondering if if this environment is too old for this trick. The OS is
AIX with a old version of filePro 4.5. Or is this just not possible?

The report in question was setup in a header file with the body of the
report pulling all of the detail lines from another file. This works but
the detail lines aren't sorted the way I'd like them to be.
The V sort/selection table prompts for a single building code and then the
report processing uses a loop and a print command to get and all of the
data lines.
I added a sort command to the -v table but it doesn't affect order of the
data lines. The print command can't go in the V table. So is it possible to
sort the report if all of the data uses dummy variables coded in the output
form?

I know I can recreate the report and base it in the detail file. The
problem is It's a larger than normal header and I'm trying not to recode
the whole thing.

Thanks for your assistance.
