I'm feeding two list controls with a master file: the first is a name, the second is a list of dates for that name. Is it possible to have the dates in the 2nd list sorted descending with the most recent listed first?


Thanks.

Have you tried writing a procedure to create the XML for the boxes? This works for chained parms and you can sort the data any way you want.

no, haven't tried that one yet. i might try feeding the controls with a FEX first. i've had problems in the past using a fex for multiple controls ( see thread), but i'll give it another shot.


Thanks.

By 'procedure', I meant fex. Check out wf761appsgt.pdf, Chapter 5, page 214.

Mark,
Do as Ginny suggest, have your listboxes filled by means of fexes, it is the only way to ensure your own custom sorting.
Be sure to provide two values in the fex you're using to populate, the first value will be the value that will be passed on with the form date, the second value is the value that you will see in the listbox.
