We have gone through a migration from Focus to Webfocus.

One thing I have noticed that Webfocus sorts slightly different. For example

Focus Sorts this way
YLP FTI
YLP SPU
YLP YLP
YL100 FTI
YL100 SPU
YL100 YL100

Webfocus sorts this way

YL100 FTI
YL100 SPU
YL100 YL100
YLP FTI
YLP SPU
YLP YLP

This uses the same program. Is there some work around to get it to sort like old focus or is it just something inherent of Webfocus.

It's ASCII vs. EBCDIC: P comes before '1' in EBCDIC, but after in ASCII.

So it depends on the platform, not the product. Your Focus is (apparently) installed in an EBCDIC-based mainframe environment, and WebFocus in ASCII.
