SORT (continued)

Field Code (ff) Option

You can sort the output from your searches by fields, such as author name, title, publication date, company name, city, sales volume, or other fields indicated in the SORT portion of individual Bluesheets. A two-character field code (ff) is used to indicate the field by which to SORT (e.g., AU to sort by author). Online helps to find the fields available for SORTing include HELP SORT n (where n is the file number), and in DialogLink 5, while online in a database, you can click on the Bluesheet in the Help and Information linking pane and then click on Sort to view the list of SORTable fields.
