ORDER primary command

In Browse, View, and Edit, the ORDER command sets the display order for one or more fields in TABL and SNGL display format.

Held fields are ordered in relation to other held fields. Unheld fields are ordered in relation to other unheld fields.

You can also specify a display order by typing a number in the SEQ column using the template editor.

Syntax


1 ORDER
1 
2.1 fieldref
2.1 fldname
2.1 seq
1 RESET
fieldref
A single field reference (for example, #1), a range (for example, #2-#5), or a list of single field references/ranges separated by spaces (for example, #1 #4 #6-#7). A single field specification is #n; n is a positive integer and cannot exceed the number of fields in the template being processed.
fldname
The name of a field in the template, which is optionally preceded by the pound symbol (#). Use #RESET to avoid any syntactical ambiguity with command keywords.
seq
A positive integer that indicates the relative order for the field among other ordered fields.
