Hi,
there is a problem browsing an array using the SORT command and non progressive elements.

In this self-contained sample I have a 6 elements array and I want to browse only elements 1 and 6.
As you can see if you try to change the order of the date column then the order is not correct.

See www.softwarexp.co.uk/beta/image1.png to see an image of the problem

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

include "FiveWin.ch"

include "xbrowse.ch"

function Main()

local oDlg, oBrw, aArray

set date french
set epoch to 1920

aArray:={}
aadd(aArray,{"Marc","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2003")})
aadd(aArray,{"Luc","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("30/05/2004")})
aadd(aArray,{"George","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2004")})
aadd(aArray,{"Simon","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2005")})
aadd(aArray,{"Janie","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2006")})
aadd(aArray,{"Robert","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2007")})
aadd(aArray,{"Melanie","Nil1","Nil2","Nil3","Nil4",ctod("31/12/2008")})

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 300, 200

@0,0 XBROWSE oBrw OF oDlg array aarray

oBrw:nMarqueeStyle := MARQSTYLE_HIGHLROW
oBrw:lRecordSelector := .f.

ADD COLUMN oCol TO XBROWSE oBrw DATA ARRAY ELEM 1;
    HEADER "Name" SIZE 100 ORDER 1

ADD COLUMN oCol TO XBROWSE oBrw DATA ARRAY ELEM 6;
    HEADER "Date" SIZE 80 ORDER 2

oBrw:CreateFromCode()

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTER

return nil

ADD COLUMN oCol TO XBROWSE oBrw DATA ARRAY ELEM 6;
HEADER "Date" SIZE 80 ORDER 6 // not 2

Hi,
using ORDER 6 isn't possible to change the order for that column.

See source and executable sample on www.softwarex.co.uk/beta/sample.zip

All runs fine now. Thanks for your quick support.
