Dear Tech,
I have a copy of FileMaker Pro 7, and with it I want to sort the records and have the sorted records saved in that position in a clone of the same file. ie. If you sort the file, close it and then re-open the clone, I want the imported records to appear in the same sorted order that they were before I closed it, but this time that is in their natural, unsorted position in the new file. There was a trick that enabled this to be done in FileMaker Pro 7, but I have forgotten what it is. By the way, this procedure works perfectly in FMP6 and I have been doing it in that version since it came out. With FMP7, however, the imported records in the new clone file are in the same unsorted position they were in the originally file before I closed it in order to import.
Can you help?
