Author set order by name of index
Andreas Moroder

Hello,

is there a function to set the order with the name of the index as
parameter instead of the position of the index ?

Thanks
Andreas

if using .CDX you can do it thus:-
set order to OrdNumber( 'tagname' )

Have you tried OrdSetFocus( <IndexName> ) ?

Consider..

use members
index on first_name + last_name to first
set index to
index on last_name + first_name to last
set index to first, last

...Now 'set order to first' chooses the first one and 'set order to last'
chooses the second one. 'set order to' restores members to natural order
but leaves the indexes open.

I think Andreas means is there a "set order to first" function as opposed to
set order to 1
