QuickSort is a FileMaker module to sort according to any field of a table. The module is generic and intended for list views. Each table column gets a button (button, title). The field name is passed as a script parameter. No further adjustments are needed. The selected column is sorted alternately in ascending or descending order.
How it works
The script is started with the field name as parameter and makes a loop through all field names until the field name matches the script parameter. Then sort on this field name.
This works splendidly in the table of the current page. However, linked tables are unfortunately not taken into account. So if relational data should be included in the sorting, a separate setting is needed for these fields.
Strengths
- Generic sorting module
- Good for lists
- Easy to implement
